Description:
Description of the Internal Audit Unit: The Internal Audit Unit is established within the Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (Department) to provide the Commissioner, Deputy Executive Commissioner and Executive Management with independent, object appraisals of the Department's operations. Examples of the type of work performed by the Internal Audit Unit include, but are not limited to:
¿ Operational Audits: An operational audit examines an operating process to determine if resources are being used in the most efficient and effective ways to meet the unit's mission and objectives. Internal control reviews are a major portion of an operational review.
¿ Compliance Audit: A compliance audit evaluates the Department's adherence to laws, regulations and internal and external policies governing the activity being reviewed.
¿ Information System Audit: An Information System audit reviews the internal control environment and the use of automated information and transaction processing system.
¿ Fiscal Audit: A fiscal audit reviews the recording and reporting of financial transactions to provide assurance that the financial information has been recorded accurately and to determine whether the transactions were actual and necessary.
¿ Internal Review: An internal review differs from an internal audit in that the scope is much more limited. If any material weaknesses are discovered, a review may be expanded into a full internal audit.
¿ Consulting: In addition to completing audits, the Internal Audit Unit can provide consulting services to Senior Management.
Intern Assignments/Tasks: An intern assigned to the Internal Audit Unit would function as a staff member trainee on any of the above audits. The intern would be closely supervised and trained by an experienced Associate Internal Auditor. Major duties include, but are not limited to the following:
¿ Assist in the development of a detailed audit program appropriate for each internal audit assignment by reviewing relevant documents, records and reports which govern the particular operation to be audited;
¿ Interview staff, clients or vendors to obtain the required and necessary information for the conduct of the audit;
¿ Analyze all appropriate source documents, records and reports relating to the activity under study;
