Day 33: Audit System Progress Review and Feedback Discussion

I continued working on the E-Audit system to further complete it as a fully functional system. The audit staff also checked on the progress of the system, and I presented the current development to them while asking for their feedback and opinions regarding certain features and the overall functionality of the system.

Several suggestions and improvements were proposed, which I have taken note of for further enhancement of the system. These include the use of a dropdown list for internal units to facilitate general questions that may be submitted by auditees, as well as improvements to the overall design and colour scheme of the system to create a more professional and clean appearance. Additionally, the feedback session helped provide a clearer understanding of the users’ needs and expectations towards the functionality and usability of the system.

Besides that, I also presented the initial and main system, which is the audit scheduling system, to show them the current progress and the features included in the system. The system is mainly developed to assist the audit staff in managing and carrying out their internal tasks more efficiently and systematically.

From today’s tasks, I gained valuable experience in receiving and analysing user feedback during the system development process. By presenting the current progress of the E-Audit system to the audit staff, I learned the importance of considering users’ opinions and suggestions to ensure that the system meets practical needs and expectations.

In addition, the feedback regarding the dropdown function, interface design, and colour scheme helped me realise that usability and visual presentation are important elements in developing a professional and user-friendly system. This experience also improved my communication skills, especially in discussing system functionalities and gathering input for future improvements.

Overall, today’s activities enhanced my understanding of user-centred system development and strengthened my ability to continuously improve the quality and effectiveness of the system through feedback and collaboration.

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...
