Contract Audit Division
I am the Audit Manager responsible for planning, executing and managing a staff
of up to 3 auditors. I am the first line supervisor for auditors' assigned to m
y projects. I was brought in to establish and implement a contract audit functi
on because this was not being done by the OIG. As a result, I developed audit a
pproaches where no precedent existed.
Major Duties Include:
* Develop and modify objectives, work plans, guidelines, scope, methods, staff r
equirements, and time schedules to meet project needs.
* Oversee report preparation and ensure effectiveness of presentation, adequacy
of supporting data, and conformance with policies and standards.
* Review audit programs, work papers, audits in process, and reports to ensure,
(a) adherence to the audit plan and prescribed policies and standards, and (b) t
he quality and effectiveness especially in the areas of content, clarity, and co
nciseness of individual work products. I direct revisions, or other corrective
actions, to draft reports and testimony, where deemed necessary.
* I assume the lead role in entrance and exit conferences with auditee or contra
ctor officials of the activity under review to present findings and recommendati
ons as appropriate. I use the evidence developed during the review as well as n
egotiation and persuasion techniques to gain acceptance of results that are ofte
n in conflict with the desires and opinions of the officials of the activity und
er review.
* Assisting the OIG Contracting Officer by overseeing the process to draft and i
ssue RFP's to obtain the services of IPAs to perform external contract audits.
My accomplishments include:
Development of a generic contract audit guide;
Development of a Procurement Manual for OIG
Issuance of RFP's for the audit services of IPA's;
Created several audit forms for contract audits;
Created several templates for contract audits;
Approving leave requests for staff auditors;
Power Point presentations to senior management;
Drafting audit reports on findings and recommendations;
Reviewing work papers of staff auditors; and
Development of a Risk Assessment targeted for highly controversial issues.

, OMB's Compliance Supplement for FY 2000 and FY 2001.
Examples of my skill in making oral and written reports and presentations clearl
y and concisely include:
Audit of a grantee where I questioned $303, 615. Over 90 percent of the questio
ned costs occurred because the grantee reported administrative costs that exceed
ed the 20 percent ceiling limitation; and charged JTPA with costs that should ha
ve been charged to the grantee and another Federal grant. The ETA Grant Officer
disallowed the entire $303,615, OIG No. 18-98-006-03-355, issued March 13, 1998
.
Audit of a contractor where I questioned $520,938 or 54 percent of the $965,316

llowable consultant costs; Report No. 18-96-006-07-735; issued April 12, 1996.
