Day 27: System Feature Discussion and Dashboard Development

Today, my supervisor asked about the dashboard of the system and the type of information that is usually displayed on it. He suggested that for the audit scheduling system, the integration of external report sources, such as reports from the National Audit Department, could be displayed on the dashboard for reference purposes and to provide ideas for future audit work titles. These reports could also serve as references for audit report writing content. Besides that, the communication process between the audit unit and the auditee was also proposed to be included in the system. For example, once an audit is conducted, the audit unit can send questions to the auditee for feedback, and once the responses are received, the answers can be accessed directly through the system.

I plan to integrate all these requested features into the dashboard while also creating a separate page for users to access the full functions of these features. On the other hand, I was informed that in conjunction with the placement of the Raja Muda of Terengganu at MAIDAM, each unit is required to propose activities or programmes for the knowledge of Yang Mulia. Encik Rosli mentioned that he would like to include the development of this system in the list of proposed activities, and I may need to conduct a demo of the system usage. However, further details and confirmation will be informed later. Nevertheless, having the development of this system included in the proposed activities itself is already a great honour for me.

From today’s discussion, I gained a better understanding of the importance of developing a system that is not only functional but also informative and supportive for users. The suggestions provided by the supervisor regarding dashboard integration and communication features helped me realise how a system can improve efficiency, accessibility of information, and communication between the audit unit and auditees. In addition, I learned that integrating external references, such as audit reports, into the system can support users in generating ideas and improving the quality of report writing. This experience also exposed me to the importance of continuously improving a system based on user needs and practical work processes.

Furthermore, being informed that the system development may be presented during the Raja Muda Terengganu’s placement programme gave me a sense of appreciation and motivation. It encouraged me to continue improving the system and boosted my confidence in the work that I have developed throughout the practicum period.

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...
