The Financial Services Division of Denver Human Services (DHS) is seeking a seasoned and driven Senior Internal Auditor. This position is viewed as an integral partner to our continuous quality improvement activities. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in auditing, have exceptional customer service and relationship building skills, and personally view the role of the Internal Auditor as important to the ability of DHS to ensure that the residents of Denver receive critical services and support.

Once fully trained, the selected candidate for this challenging position will have high levels of autonomy and independence. Flexibility is a must to hit the ground running with the expectation to have an internal drive to perform at the highest level of personal and professional competence and integrity. The individual selected for this position will work under the direction of the Internal Audit Supervisor, planning and conducting audits and creating audit reports for DHS management and community partners.

The DHS Internal Audit team has two primary objectives. The first objective, which is the main area of focus for this position, is to monitor the performance and financial integrity of sub-recipients of federal program dollars who receive and manage federal grants regulated under OMB Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance"). Monitoring efforts will include conducting an annual risk assessment of DHS sub-recipients and assisting the Internal Audit Supervisor with planning the procedures to be performed during sub-recipient monitoring assignments. Followed by performing audit procedures, identifying areas of non-compliance, and developing audit reports summarizing results and recommendations for use by the management of DHS and sub-recipient organizations.

The other primary objective of the Internal Audit team is to provide ongoing monitoring, review, analysis, and reporting associated with the spending of local property taxes dedicated to serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Those funds, in excess of $25 million annually, are currently contracted by DHS to the state-designated Case Management Agency (CMA) and other community partners. This position will have opportunities to assist the team's other Senior Internal Auditor with monitoring these contracts when capacity is available, and well as conduct other internal audits of various DHS programs and functions.

In summary, the Senior Internal Auditor:

• Performs audits including performance, financial and compliance audits.

• Plans, develops and documents audit procedures for complex audits based on best practices.

• Analyzes audit results and comes to appropriate conclusions.

• Writes audit reports summarizing results and recommendations.

• Conducts entrance and exit conferences as well as other internal and external meetings with audit groups.

• Serves as a department resource related to audit compliance.

• May train internal and external stakeholders around audit components and regulations.
