Day 37: System Improvement and Participation in Internal Audit Unit Meeting

Today, I continued refining and improving the system, focusing on completing its development as efficiently as possible while ensuring that it functions properly, meets the required objectives, and can be used effectively by its intended users. Throughout the development process, I conducted testing and made necessary adjustments to enhance the system’s performance, usability, and reliability.

In the afternoon, I was given the opportunity to participate in a meeting between the Internal Audit Unit and the Chief Executive Officer (KPE) of MAIDAM. The meeting focused on the progress and current initiatives of the Internal Audit Unit, as well as other related matters concerning the unit’s operations and responsibilities. This experience was highly valuable as it provided me with new insights into how the Internal Audit Unit operates, including its reporting procedures, workflow management, communication processes, and overall governance practices. Being able to observe the discussions firsthand helped me gain a better understanding of the professional environment and the importance of effective reporting and accountability within an organization.

In addition, the progress and development of the system that I am currently working on were also presented to the KPE for consideration and future use by the Internal Audit Unit. This provided me with a meaningful opportunity to witness how technology initiatives are communicated to management and how digital solutions can support the unit’s operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Today's activities provided me with valuable exposure to both system development and the professional working environment within the organization. Through the process of refining and improving the system, I learned the importance of paying attention to detail, conducting continuous testing, and ensuring that a system is not only completed on time but also functions effectively and meets user requirements. Participating in the meeting between the Internal Audit Unit and the Chief Executive Officer gave me a deeper understanding of how communication, reporting, and decision-making take place at the management level. It also allowed me to appreciate the role of the Internal Audit Unit in supporting organizational governance and accountability. Furthermore, knowing that the system I am developing was presented to the CEO motivated me to take greater responsibility for the quality of my work. This experience reinforced the importance of professionalism, continuous improvement, and developing solutions that can contribute positively to organizational operations. Overall, the day enhanced both my technical knowledge and my understanding of workplace practices, making it a meaningful learning experience.

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...
