Day 18: System Progress Presentation and Improvement

Today, I presented the progress of the system to Encik Rosli, the supervisor, for his reference. There have been several additions to the system’s functions, along with the supporting documentation. The audit procedures included in the system were extracted from the official documents provided by Encik Rosli to ensure that the content accurately reflects the actual procedures previously carried out by the unit and is suitable for their use. After the discussion, I immediately began making improvements to the system to ensure that it will be fully functional, with all the required features and enhancements, by the end of the internship.

Through this session, I was able to gain valuable feedback on the system development, which helped me better understand the expectations and practical requirements needed by the unit. I realised that referring to actual documents and existing procedures is important to ensure the system developed is accurate, relevant, and applicable in a real working environment. In addition, this experience improved my ability to communicate and present my work clearly to the supervisor, while also helping me to be more receptive to feedback and suggestions for improvement. The process of making immediate enhancements after the discussion also trained me to be more proactive and responsive in system development. Overall, this task has strengthened my technical and analytical skills, as well as my confidence in developing a system that aligns with real organisational needs.

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...
