As a UW employee, you have a unique opportunity to change lives on our campuses, in our state and around the world.

UW employees offer their boundless energy, creative problem-solving skills and dedication to build stronger minds and a healthier world.


UW faculty and staff also enjoy outstanding benefits, professional growth opportunities and unique resources in an environment noted for diversity, intellectual excitement, artistic pursuits and natural beauty.

The senior auditors are responsible for the overall completion of internal audits within the University. Senior auditors independently plan and conduct financial, operational, compliance, and system audits.

They are expected to have internal audit experience and to demonstrate proficiency in applying independent judgement in performing internal audit work which conforms to professional standards.

The success and reputation of Internal Audit rest with the work performed by the Principal, Senior and Staff Auditors.
