Today, the visiting supervisor, Dr. Mohd Hisham Bin Mohd Sharif, visited MAIDAM as part of the industrial practicum monitoring process. The purpose of the visit was to discuss the students’ practicum experience, performance, and overall progress, as well as to explore potential collaboration opportunities between Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) and industry partners. The visit proceeded smoothly, beginning with an introduction to MAIDAM's overall operations and organizational structure. Discussions also covered my progress and learning experience throughout my attachment at MAIDAM, along with several other matters related to the practicum program. The session provided an excellent opportunity for both parties to exchange views and strengthen the relationship between the university and the organization.
My supervisor at MAIDAM was kind enough to invite us for lunch after the meeting, which provided a more relaxed environment for further interaction and discussion. After lunch, I bid farewell to Dr. Mohd Hisham as he concluded his supervisory visit and continued his journey. This marked the end of a productive and insightful visit. Overall, the visit and discussions were productive and beneficial. I was also reassured that I can always seek guidance or ask questions from my lecturers whenever necessary, and that they are willing to provide support and assistance throughout my practicum period. This encouragement gave me greater confidence in completing my responsibilities and achieving my learning objectives.
While waiting and preparing for the visit, I was briefed on a recent discussion between the Internal Audit Unit and the Information Technology (IT) Unit regarding an upcoming audit exercise. Through this briefing, I gained exposure to the audit planning process, including the scope of work, the responsibilities assigned to individual audit team members, and the workflow that will be followed throughout the audit. This experience enhanced my understanding of how audits are organized and executed, as well as the importance of proper coordination, communication, and task allocation in ensuring the effectiveness of audit activities. Following the visit, I continued working on the system development project with the aim of completing it before presenting the final version to both the lecturers and members of the Internal Audit Unit for review and feedback.
Today's activities provided me with valuable insights into both the academic and professional aspects of my industrial training experience. The visit from my academic supervisor allowed me to reflect on my progress, achievements, and areas for improvement throughout my attachment at MAIDAM. The discussions between the university and the organization highlighted the importance of collaboration in ensuring that students gain meaningful industry exposure and practical learning experiences. In addition, being briefed on the upcoming audit activities gave me a better understanding of how audit planning and coordination are carried out within an organization. I learned that successful audits require careful preparation, clear assignment of responsibilities, and effective communication among team members and departments. This exposure helped me appreciate the complexity of audit processes and the importance of teamwork in achieving organizational objectives. The encouragement and support received from both my academic and industry supervisors also motivated me to continue developing my technical and professional skills. Overall, the experience strengthened my confidence, broadened my understanding of workplace practices, and inspired me to complete my system development project to the highest possible standard.
