What would you do?

Auditors perform audit procedures, prepare audit documentation, reach conclusions based on audit evidence, and make recommendations to improve government operations. They conduct audit procedures on financial and/or performance audits of agencies, institutions of higher education, and other entities that receive state funding. The results of our audit work helps improve agency operations and provide valuable information to State leaders on areas such as public education, public safety, healthcare, and foster care.

On a financial audit you might: review fiscal and accounting functions and systems including pension and investment funds, review and test accounting records, develop estimates and expectations of financial statement accounts, review financial trends and analyze variances, and analyze financial statement account balances and draw conclusions.

On a performance audit you might: review the operations and management of various State programs to assess their effectiveness, conduct research, evaluate compliance with laws, policies and regulations, analyze both qualitative and quantitative data, and provide objective analysis to assist agency management in improving operational performance.

Most audits also include reviewing and evaluating internal controls, including information technology system controls.

Before being assigned to either type of audit, you would be trained on performing an audit. Our Auditor Training Program (ATP) will introduce you to the topics and issues you will experience daily as an auditor with a combination of internally developed classroom training and training on a mock audit. Following completion of the ATP, our office's culture of continuous learning and training helps new auditors gain skills to move to the next level.
