1 month ago

Seattle, United States University of Washington Full time

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. Audit work includes planning, development of audit programs for audit testing and evaluation, and reporting of audit results. Work assigned to senior auditors is expected to be carried out with limited supervision. The complexity and size of audit assignments varies.

This position has the following complexities:

* Requires extensive and in-depth knowledge of applicable federal and state laws and regulations, as well as the underlying business processes governed by these pronouncements. Examples include Revised Code of Washington, Washington State Administrative Code, Washington State Ethics regulations and the Institute of Internal Audit standards and code of ethics.* Requires advanced risk analysis techniques using data from multiple systems.* Participates in the business process review of systems implementations such as the Workday, SAGE and other UW applications.* Works with and reports to multiple levels of management across the UW, and will be expected to communicate issues noted during the audit.* Requires discussion and handling of highly sensitive and/or confidential issues and information.

Internal Audit is a primary tool of the Board of Regents to ensure financial, operational and compliance integrity. Other auditors examine specific functions, activities, or areas of risk, but the scope of Internal Audit encompasses all of these areas. Current levels of frequent, significant and costly compliance issues in healthcare and higher education emphasize the importance of the internal audit function. The success and reputation of Internal Audit rest with the work performed by the Principal, Senior and Staff Auditors.
