Day 32: System Improvement and Practicum Discussion

Today, I continued testing the developed pages and functions of the system to ensure the smooth flow of data, proper functionality, and accurate display of information. The testing process focused on the interaction between the audit staff and auditees, navigation between pages, and the accessibility of the system features. Besides that, I also worked on improving the design and interface of the system to create a more organised and user-friendly dashboard. Several adjustments were made to the arrangement of information and page layout to ensure a better user experience and smoother accessibility for users.

In addition, I reviewed the current system structure and planned the next phase of development, including further enhancements and additional features that can improve the efficiency and functionality of the system. On the other hand, I informed my supervisor regarding the visitation session by the supervisor from UUM, including the discussed date and time for the session. I also informed him regarding the matters that will be discussed during the visit, such as the student’s practicum experience, performance and progress throughout the practicum period, as well as the potential collaboration opportunities between UUM and the industry.

From today’s tasks, I gained a better understanding of the importance of system testing and continuous improvement during the development process. Through the testing activities, I learned how important it is to ensure that the data flow, navigation, and functionality of the system operate smoothly to provide a better experience for users. In addition, improving the interface and layout of the system helped me realise that system design also plays an important role in ensuring accessibility, usability, and user satisfaction. Planning the next phase of development further enhanced my ability to think critically and systematically in improving the overall quality and effectiveness of the system.

Furthermore, the discussion regarding the visitation session from UUM gave me exposure to the professional communication process between academic institutions and industry organisations. It also helped me understand the importance of practicum programmes in strengthening collaboration between universities and industries while supporting student development and learning experiences.

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...
