Day 35: Interface Improvement and System Flow Discussion

Today, I decided to redesign the interface and overall appearance of the system to make it look more professional and more suitable for a government-based system. The previous green colour theme was changed to a greyish-blue theme to create a cleaner and more professional interface.

Besides that, the audit staff and I discussed the dashboard again to ensure that I fully understood their requirements and expectations in developing the system, as well as to clarify the overall flow of the system. This discussion helped me gain a clearer understanding of how the system should function according to the users’ needs and work processes.

I successfully completed the design changes for all related pages and plan to conduct testing of the system from both the staff and auditee perspectives as the next step in ensuring that the system functions properly and can be used effectively and efficiently.

From today’s tasks, I gained a better understanding of the importance of interface design and visual presentation in system development. By redesigning the system with a more professional colour scheme and layout, I realised that the appearance of a system can influence users’ confidence, comfort, and overall experience while using it, especially for a government-related system.

In addition, the discussion with the audit staff helped me better understand the users’ requirements and workflow. This experience showed me the importance of communication and collaboration in ensuring that the developed system aligns with actual user needs and operational processes.

Furthermore, preparing for the testing phase exposed me to the importance of evaluating the system from different user perspectives, such as staff and auditees, to ensure that the system is functional, practical, and user-friendly. Overall, today’s activities enhanced both my technical and communication skills in the system development process.

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...
