Day 28: E-Audit Module Planning and Dashboard Development Discussion

For today, I discussed the system and dashboard once again together with other unit members. Since the system was initially prepared for the internal use of the unit, it includes several different functions such as the display of audit work scheduling using a Gantt chart with input spaces, links to reports from the National Audit Department, procedures for conducting audits, and a framework for generating internal audit reports.

Based on the discussions, explanations, and clarifications, as well as the preparation of activities for the Raja Muda as mentioned in the previous logbook, we agreed to use one of the modules for the presentation as part of the unit’s activity, as the complete system would be too extensive to cover during the proposed activity and presentation. The selected module will function as a dashboard for the status and actions of the audit unit and its auditees, including a login function to manage the submission of questions to auditees together with their feedback responses.

For now, I will focus on the development of this module with the initial proposed name, “E-Audit”. As for today, I gathered the necessary information regarding the details to be included in the system, references and inspiration from the National Audit Department website, interface design ideas, and the system structure to begin developing this module.

From today’s discussion, I gained valuable exposure to collaborative planning and decision-making in system development. By discussing the system together with other unit members, I was able to understand different perspectives and identify the functions that are most relevant and beneficial for the audit unit’s operations. In addition, this experience helped me realise the importance of designing a system that is practical, organised, and user-oriented. The planning of the “E-Audit” module exposed me to the process of translating operational needs into system features and structures. I also learned how references from existing professional platforms, such as the National Audit Department, can be used as inspiration to improve system quality and functionality. Furthermore, knowing that the module may be presented as part of the unit’s activity for the Raja Muda gave me additional motivation and confidence in my work. Overall, this experience enhanced both my technical understanding and communication skills in a professional working environment.

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...
