    Investigator – Forensic Accountant Specialist/Senior Associate

    Location:
    Washington, D.C.


    The IDB Group is a community of diverse, versatile, and passionate people who work to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean.

    Our people find purpose and do what they love in an inclusive, collaborative, agile, and rewarding environment.
    About this position

    The IDB's Office of Institutional Integrity (OII) is currently seeking a dynamic and highly motivated Forensic Accountant (Integrity Specialist/Senior Associate Level).

    This individual will play a critical role in conducting significant and complex investigations into suspected or alleged prohibited practices in activities financed by the IDB Group.

    OII plays a key role in leading the IDB Group's integrity efforts.

    The Office is responsible for investigating information in connection with prohibited practices (i.e., fraud, corruption, collusion, coercion, misappropriation, and obstruction) in IDB Group-financed activities, as well as conducting prevention activities designed to identify and manage the risk that prohibited practices or similar misconduct may occur in IDB Group-financed operations.

    Additionally, OII supports IDB Invest by overseeing compliance with its Integrity Framework and Integrity Due Diligence (IDD) procedures on a project-by-project basis.

    Furthermore, OII also serves as the Bank's Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) compliance office leads (in coordination with the Risk Management Group) in the implementation of the IDB's AML/CFT Framework and serves as an advisory resource in the management of the IDB Group's AML/CFT risks.

    Within OII, the Forensic Accounting Team is responsible for:

    Supporting OII's investigations function by providing forensic expertise, including forensic audits, in connection with investigations of potential prohibited practices in projects financed by the IDB Group.

    Supporting OII's preventive function by providing expert advice and forensic assistance in response to consultations and other integrity risk management efforts to units across the IDB Group, including its regional offices.

    This work will include conducting forensic reviews and assessments to identify fraud and corruption risks and proposing measures to mitigate such risks.

    Providing capacity-building to entities in member countries to strengthen their forensic accounting and auditing capacity.

    What you'll do:
    This role calls for a proactive and diligent approach, requiring you to leverage your accounting skills.

    In your role as a Forensic Accountant and under the direction and supervision of the Senior Forensic Accountant, your responsibilities will include:

    Conducting Forensic Audits and Reviews:

    In coordination with the Senior Forensic Accountant, collaborate with OII in investigating allegations of fraud, corruption, waste, or abuse in IDB group-financed operations.

    Participate in forensic audits to identify and quantify occurrences of fraud and corruption, diagnose vulnerabilities, and develop mitigation strategies.

    This involves defining the scope of engagements, developing, and executing audit plans, reviewing financial records, conducting interviews, performing document and database searches, and preparing detailed reports outlining findings and recommendations.


    Data Analysis and Reporting:

    Engage in forensic data mining to uncover patterns, anomalies, and relationships in large datasets, and analyze information to discover leads and develop intelligence.

    Analyze and interpret financial statements and specific accounting documents such as invoices, receipts, purchase orders, payroll records, bank statements, ledgers, journals, etc.

    Use these insights to prepare detailed investigative reports, complete with full supporting documentation, providing recommendations for informed decision-making based on comprehensive assessment.


    Collaborating with Preventive Teams:

    In coordination with the Senior Forensic Accountant, work alongside the preventive team to conduct financial integrity risk analyses of various programs and sectors, identifying potential risks that may impact the outcomes of IDB-financed programs.

    Support the preventive team, as needed, when responding to operational project teams and managers on assessing and mitigating financial integrity risks.

    Engage in training and capacity building by conducting presentations and developing materials for IDB staff and external stakeholders on forensic audits and financial integrity risk management.
