The Position
The Auditor III is the advanced journey and/or supervisory level class in the specialized, professional Auditor series. Incumbents in this class are responsible for performing the most difficult, complex, sensitive and responsible types of professional auditing duties. While most positions in this class require supervision of professional auditing staff, some positions will be allocated to this class where the responsibilities are so complex that incumbents are required to possess specialized, technical competencies and expertise at the advanced journey level. Due to the nature of work of the Auditor positions, these classes are solely reserved for use by the Division of Internal Audit.
Incumbents in this class report to an Audit Manager or other higher level management personnel. This class is distinguished from the higher class of Audit Manager in that the latter is the first level management class responsible for overseeing and managing the Division of Internal Audit. This class is further distinguished from the lower class of Auditor I/II by the regular, continuous performance of the full range of supervisory duties and/or the application of specialized, technical expertise required of the position. This class is not flexibly staffed with the Auditor I/II class, and allocations to the Auditor III class are limited.
