Day 42: Audit Evidence Collection and Report Documentation

Today, besides continuing the development of the system, I accompanied one of the audit staff members to collect photographic evidence related to audit findings identified during the audit process. The photographs were taken using a specialized camera purchased specifically for evidence collection purposes. This camera is able to automatically generate images together with the date on which the photographs were captured.

The photographic evidence is important as it serves as supporting documentation and strengthens the audit findings reported by the audit team. Through this activity, I gained a better understanding of the importance of collecting sufficient and reliable audit evidence to support audit observations and conclusions.

In addition, I was assigned to organize and tag the appendices for an audit report. As I had performed a similar task previously, I was able to complete the work more efficiently and within a shorter period of time. Upon completion, I carefully reviewed the entire document to ensure that no errors were present before submitting it to the audit team members for further review and any necessary amendments.

This experience provided me with a clearer understanding of the audit process, particularly the importance of gathering sufficient evidence to support audit findings. I learned that accurate and reliable evidence plays a crucial role in strengthening audit conclusions and ensuring that findings can be properly justified.

Furthermore, the task of organizing and tagging report appendices enhanced my attention to detail and document management skills. Since I had prior experience with similar tasks, I was able to work more confidently and efficiently. This experience reinforced the importance of accuracy, thorough review, and proper documentation in maintaining the quality and professionalism of audit reports.

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...
