Job DescriptionSCOPE OF POSITION
The Senior Auditor conducts internal audits, special assignments, and research and advisory projects in order to identify opportunities for improvement and recommend enhancements of efficiency and cost savings throughout the Alliance. The Senior Auditor conducts investigations of suspected and known fraudulent activities. The Senior Auditor is responsible for the development of audit programs, completion of test work, and report writing, subject to final approval by the Director of Corporate Audit Services.

The Senior Auditor will frequently interface with Senior Management and other personnel at all levels of the organization. In addition, the Senior Auditor will have contact with Board Members, external auditors, legal counsel, federal, state, and local agencies, vendors, patients, physicians and their staffs, other internal audit departments, and other parties.

This position is project-oriented and not routine; it requires self-motivation, the flexibility to deal with unfamiliar situations, and good organizational and interpersonal skills. A major portion of the projects are "first-time" assignments. Auditing requires concentration, close attention to detail, objectivity, resourcefulness, the ability to maintain confidentiality of sensitive information, and the ability to work within specified time budgets. An ability to make presentations to diverse groups to present the results of work assignments and an ability to confidently "sell" ideas for ways to achieve improvements are also necessary.

This is a salaried professional position. This position is governed by standards for the internal auditing profession, which are established by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) as set forth in the Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing and the IIA Code of Ethics; and by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) as set forth in the Code of Professional Ethics.
