Day 17: Finalising Response Letter and Continuing System Development

The response letter, together with the appendices, has been completed and only needs to be sent to the Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (KPE), both in hardcopy and softcopy. After completing the tidying up of the softcopy, the unit sent the document to the relevant party, and thus the process of preparing and sending the response letter is completed. I continued developing the system, as the current audit schedule consists of several phases and procedures, which makes it a bit complex to present on the screen. I aim to design an interface that is easy for users to navigate and work through, even when there are multiple phases and procedures within a single task. I also referred to the provided reference materials to develop the appropriate audit procedures to be included in the system for each specific task.

Through this task, I was able to gain a better understanding of the overall process involved in preparing and finalising an official response letter, including the importance of accuracy and proper documentation. I also realised that attention to detail is crucial, especially when handling appendices and ensuring that all supporting documents are complete before submission. In addition, while continuing the system development, I faced some challenges in organising the audit schedule due to the multiple phases and procedures involved. This experience helped me to think more critically in designing a user-friendly interface that can simplify complex processes for users. Overall, this task has improved my ability to manage documentation as well as enhanced my problem-solving skills in developing a more efficient and structured system.

First Day of Internship!

I started my first day of internship by reporting for duty at the MAIDAM office at 8:00 a.m. I was required to fill in the Act 88 form (Official Secrets Act, Appendix E). Then, I was assigned to my department, the Internal Audit Unit, where I had a brief introduction session with all the unit members, including the Information Technology team, who share the same office space. In the Internal Audit Unit, there are four members consisting of a Head of Internal Audit, a Senior Assistant, and two Assistants. After that, I began familiarizing myself with the scope of work and audit procedures in the department by reading the Internal Audit Manual, Treasury Instructions, flowcharts, and audit procedure manuals. I was also assisted in downloading the attendance application for clock-in and clock-out purposes and was given an access card. In addition, I was given a small task to suggest improvements that could enhance the overall efficiency of the workflow, as well as to provide any genera...

Day 7 of My Internship

Today went as usual as I continued working on my report and adding features to the system. The system is functional, but not completely good yet, as there are still many improvements that can be made to make it more convenient, efficient, and distinct from the usual systems used. Furthermore, I also had the opportunity to attend a Raya celebration at Yayasan Pendidikan Maidam at their office. It was a great experience as I got to meet and get to know various officers from different departments while enjoying our time together. In addition, I had the chance to consult with an assistant from the Internal Audit Unit about another type of system. He explained a system they have proposed to the Information Technology department and discussed whether it could be developed through in-sourcing. The system is related to maintaining an audit trail when they are questioning their clients. I have taken this into consideration and compared the feasibility of both systems to decide which system I s...

Day 4 as an Intern

I started my fourth day by reviewing my draft project and continuing to work on it. The Senior Assistant explained to me the use of Treasury regulations and circulars in auditing files for various departments in the government statutory sector. Today, I focused on reading and studying contract-related documents, including Treasury Act 169D, Government Procurement 2.10 (Direct Purchase for Supplies and Services), Government Procurement 2.11 (Direct Appointment and Requisition Works), and Government Procurement 4.2 (Letter of Acceptance, Government Orders, and Government Indent for Procurement). Specific exposure was given to me, as these matters will be discussed in a meeting scheduled for next week, and I can take this as a real-life example for future reference. I have also been informed that there will be an upcoming audit on wakaf, where I will be able to experience the actual audit process.  The Head of Unit also mentioned about about the sampling process, and I decided to revi...
