Diocese of Rockford

Diocesan Internal Auditor

Position Description

Reports to: Director of Finance and Administration

Status: Full-time, salaried, FSLA exempt

General Description:

The Internal Auditor reviews the financial status and internal control procedures of the various Diocesan parishes, schools, and ministries to assist the pastors and directors with improving compliance with governmental and Diocesan rules. Another important function of the Internal Auditor is to assist in the development of "best practice" processes and procedures to help minimize exposure to financial risks. These services are provided through periodic audit visits to each parish or ministry followed by a report offering recommendations for improvement. This position requires extensive day travel throughout the Diocese.

Duties and Responsibilities:

· Develop annual audit plan consistent with a risk-based system to prioritize parishes and ministries with highest perceived risk, while attempting to maintain a one-to-three-year rotation schedule covering all entities.

· Attend quarterly audit committee meetings to present regular updates on audit plan progress, share limited information regarding significant findings, and seek approval of the annual audit plan.

· Schedule audit visits at Diocesan entities in a manner that allows for successful completion of the annual audit plan within the fiscal year.

· Prepare for each visit by reviewing financial records for the period to be audited and selecting deposit and disbursement items for testing. Additionally, try to complete as much of the review as possible prior to the visit (tie foundation & DIAL accounts to parish balance sheet, populate bank account template with information from previous audit, etc.)

· Complete site work on the scheduled day, if possible.

· Communicate findings with pastor/director, chair of parish finance council.

· Prepare and mail audit report for pastor/principal/director. Notify Moderator of the Curia and Finance Director when reports are available. A copy is sent to the finance council chair.

· Follow up on "management responses" from parishes that do not respond to audit recommendations. Review responses received to determine if additional clarification is needed and provide follow-up.

· Undertake investigations into suspicious activities discovered during an audit or identified by another party.

· Invoice billed entities (few) and track accounts receivable.

· Prepare training/reference materials for parish/school business managers/bookkeepers.

· Utilize onsite visits as a training opportunity for bookkeeping staff as well as audit review.

· Occasionally give presentations on best practice topics or upcoming regulation changes as requested.

· Periodically update "Parish Administrative Best Practice Guide" found on the Diocesan website with new/revised guidance or regulations.

· Review and update audit program format and internal control questionnaire periodically.

· Prepare the annual budget for the Office of Internal Audits & submit in a timely manner.

· Interact with external auditors as needed to provide internal audit perspective.

· Attend monthly Diocesan department meetings if there is no conflict with audit schedule.

· When possible, undertake special projects assigned by the Bishop, Moderator of the Curia or Director of Finance.

· Attend annual "Diocesan Fiscal Managers Conference" to network with other Diocesan Internal Auditors throughout the United States to share best practices, experiences, and ideas.

· Undertake continuous professional development by paying special attention to news and information pertaining to embezzlement, fraud, theft, cyber-attacks, government law changes, etc. whether church or general business related and incorporating these risks into the future audit paradigm.

· Other duties as assigned.

Education/Skills Requirement:

Bachelor's degree in accounting or finance required. CPA or MBA preferred. Supplemental internal audit coursework a plus.

Individual must be a self-starter and able to work with minimal supervision to accomplish annual audit plan. Attention to detail and critical thinking skills are imperative.

Must be proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook. Prefer experience in QuickBooks, PowerPoint, and Teams. Willingness to learn other software as needed.

Experience Requirement:

3-5 years of auditing / accounting / finance / bookkeeping experience

Catholic Identity:

Understand and adhere to the ethical and moral norms of the Catholic Church, the teachings of the Catholic Church, the Employee Handbook, and all Diocesan policies and procedures. Some familiarity with Canon Law or a willingness to learn applicable sections is essential.
