Recruitment Notes

This is advanced professional auditing work with some supervisory responsibility in the audit of various financial operations in county departments, external government organizations having contractual relationships with the county, and audit assignments of commercial firms doing business with Miami-Dade County. Employees in this class perform more complex auditing assignments in various staff and operating agencies, departments and in external organizations, or serve as team leaders in the conduct of small-scale routine audits.

Incumbents may also be assigned to assist professional superiors in the conduct of special auditing assignments of considerable complexity. Work differs from that found in the Assistant Auditor class in that the positions require more advanced professional knowledge of auditing theory and practices and the application of a greater degree of professional judgment in the disposition of accounting problems which arise. Emphasis may be assigned to a variety of departments and agencies or may specialize in audits of specifically assigned federally funded programs.

Some incumbents are engaged in audits of firms that have contracts or franchises with the county. Supervision is received from a professional superior who reviews statements and reports and evaluates work for quality of results and adherence to professional auditing standards and program guidelines.
