Description
This classification is part of a three-level series of performance audit positions in the City Auditor’s Office, which operates and reports independently of city management. These are highly responsible positions requiring frequent exercise of judgment. Performance auditors plan and conduct performance audits in city government, including programs, functions, activities, contracts, and capital projects. Audits will typically assess whether programs and processes are achieving intended results, being conducted efficiently, and complying with laws and regulations. Projects may be sensitive and often include complex data collection and statistical analysis. Duties include conducting planning research and interviews, developing audit objectives and work plans, collecting and analyzing information, developing audit findings and recommendations based on analysis, drafting reports, reviewing reports for accuracy and quality assurance, and conducting follow-up reviews of previous audits. Audits are conducted individually or in teams, depending on project scope and schedule.
Typical Qualifications
The Senior Performance Auditor position is considered a journeyman-level position within the office; consideration will be given to hiring at the Performance Auditor (entry position) level, depending on qualifications. Must have a master's degree from an accredited institution in business, public administration, accounting, statistics, information systems, social sciences, or a related field; and at least two years of responsible professional experience in auditing; program evaluation; or financial, management, or operations analysis. One additional year of experience may be substituted for a master's degree. Must have knowledge of quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods; knowledge of principles of effectiveness and efficiency; knowledge of government and management processes; and strong writing, oral communication, and research skills. Must be able to work well independently or on a team and be able to plan and organize work to handle multiple projects and meet deadlines. Applicants must be proficient in the use of word processing and spreadsheet software, and have familiarity with database software. Senior auditors work under the general supervision of an audit manager, may provide assistance and coaching to entry-level staff, and must have the ability to handle complex or sensitive assignments.
Strongly preferred: (1) Certified Internal Auditor designation, or progress toward the certification with expected completion within 24 months of appointment. Other certifications may be substituted depending upon applicability, education and experience; (2) Working knowledge of professional auditing standards (GAO “yellow book,” IIA “red book,” or comparable).
