Day 29: Dashboard Design and System Flow Planning

I began developing the dashboard by focusing on the pages that can be accessed by the public, including the page flow, display of data, and interface design. I also planned the arrangement of the information to ensure that the dashboard is user-friendly, organised, and easy to navigate for users.

Besides that, I worked on ensuring that the displayed data is relevant and presented clearly to help users better understand the status and information related to the audit process and information. I also referred to several existing dashboard and audit-related websites as references for the interface layout and content arrangement to improve the overall design and functionality of the system.

In addition, I reviewed the flow between pages to ensure smoother navigation and better user experience while using the dashboard. Further improvements and additional features will continue to be developed from time to time based on the system requirements and feedback received.

From today’s tasks, I gained a better understanding of the importance of designing a dashboard that is not only functional but also user-friendly and well-organised. While developing the public-access pages, I learned that the arrangement of information, navigation flow, and interface design play an important role in ensuring a positive user experience.

In addition, I realised that displaying information clearly and systematically can help users better understand the purpose and functions of the system. Referring to existing dashboards and audit-related platforms also gave me new ideas and insights into improving the design and functionality of the system. Overall, this experience enhanced both my technical and creative thinking skills, especially in developing a system that balances functionality, accessibility, and visual presentation.

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...
