About The Position

The Department of Design and Construction’s Engineering Audit Office is seeking an Auditor. With latitude to exercise independent judgment and action, the Auditor audits partial, substantial, final, and retainage payment requisitions for construction, equipment, and related consultant services contracts in accordance with Comptroller Directives Nos. 2, 6, and 7. The Auditor conducts field visits to verify the quantity and quality of work performed and confirm that payment requisitions represent an appropriate value for that work. The Auditor prepares comprehensive audit reports justifying approval, adjustment, or rejection of payment requisitions.

The role also includes reviewing change orders greater than $25,000 and $50,000 for validity and cost reasonableness, respectively.

The Auditor becomes familiar with the contracts under audit and applicable Comptroller directives, OMB CS-29D, and Procurement Policy Board rules. Payment audits must be completed in time frames consistent with prompt-payment objectives, Section 4.06 of the PPB rules, ODC Directive No. 67, and DDC’s standard processing time for contractor payments.
