Day 30: Dashboard Progress and System Feature Expansion

As for now, I have successfully developed the main dashboard that will be accessible to the public. I will continue developing the pages for handling and managing the data to be displayed on the dashboard between the audit staff and the auditees. I also presented the current progress to one of the unit members and received feedback regarding the system.

Besides that, there have been additional feature requests for the dashboard, including functions for the public or auditees to submit questions to the audit unit, a page to display the submitted questions together with the responses, and a page to display the latest related documents or amendments to Treasury Circulars and other documents related to auditing.

From today’s tasks, I gained a better understanding of the importance of developing a system that is interactive, informative, and accessible to users. By developing the public dashboard and discussing the progress with a unit member, I learned how feedback from users and stakeholders can help improve the quality and functionality of a system.

In addition, the newly requested features exposed me to the importance of communication and information sharing between the audit unit and auditees. Features such as question submissions, response displays, and access to the latest audit-related documents can help improve transparency, efficiency, and accessibility of information. Overall, this experience enhanced my understanding of user-centred system development and strengthened my ability to continuously improve a system based on practical needs and feedback from users.

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...
