Verify and reconcile budget figures, beginning balances, additions, placed-in-service transfers, adjustments, and ending balances across complex federal financial systems.

Execute interim and final phases of both internal control testing and substantive testing, including existence and completeness procedures.

Prepare and conduct first-level supervisory reviews of audit documentation and workpapers throughout the audit cycle to ensure compliance with quality standards.

Serve as a trusted advisor to senior government executives, tracking and monitoring external audit activities, program reviews, and inspections from oversight bodies (e.g., GAO, OIG, external IPA firms).

Conduct comprehensive risk assessments, develop Corrective Action Plans (CAPs), and design tracking tools to monitor regulatory compliance and milestone execution.

For candidates qualifying at the Senior Manager / Manager LCAT: Supervise junior auditors and analysts, manage project workstreams, lead client briefings, and contribute to business development, proposal writing, and state/local or federal financial transformation initiatives.
