Description

The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) seeks motivated professionals who want to use their talents and skills to make a difference.

Our 750+ FTE staff are adaptive problem solvers and passionate about enriching people's lives.

If you are mission-driven, dedicated to superior service and support, and can diligently work independently in a collaborative environment, we would love for you to join our team.

LAHSA is leading the fight to end homelessness in LA County.

Here, not only would your work have a real impact on the community, but we also offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package.

Created in 1993, LAHSA is a joint powers authority of the city and county of Los Angeles.

As the lead agency in the HUD-funded Los Angeles Continuum of Care, we coordinate and manage over $800 million annually in federal, state, county, and city funds for programs providing shelter, housing, and services to people experiencing homelessness.

Under the direction of the Director, Risk Management, this position will assist in conducting internal audits with Sr. Internal Auditors and Management in the Risk Management Department's Internal Audit Unit.

These internal audits will be conducted on other Departments at LAHSA and will be structured from both a compliance and a performance improvement lens, to align with the Risk Management Department's status as both a supportive arm and accountability partner to promote LAHSA's organizational health.

These audits will include (but not be limited to) reviews of policies, procedures, internal controls, management structure and organization, program effectiveness, and system integrity and security.

This position may also be entrusted to single-handedly conduct some internal audits.

In addition, this position will also collaborate with other Internal Audit Unit personnel in both identifying issues for other Risk Management Department Units to respond to and in conducting new Internal Audits in response to issues raised by other Risk Management Department Units (such as Third-Party Audits or Investigations) to contribute to a proactive, holistic LAHSA-wide Risk Management culture.
