    GENERAL STATEMENT OF DUTIES:
    The OSA conducts various performance audits of state agencies, departments, programs, and vendors who contract with the Commonwealth.

    The goal of the OSA is to conduct audits that will identify opportunities and provide recommendations to improve government operations by establishing accountability, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, and enhancing the transparency of government activities.

    Field Auditors in the OSA participate in audits of state government entities and government contractors.

    After a period of initial training and "onboarding", Field Auditors are assigned to an audit (in a region of the state) and, under the supervision of an AIC, are responsible for performing various audit-related tasks, including, but not limited to, conducting audit testing and preparing electronic work papers, attending and participating in meetings and interviews, employing analytical skills in assessing documents and records, and preparing various written documents.


    Field Auditors are required to travel to audit sites within the state and are expected to complete all of their assigned work in a timely and professional manner in accordance with OSA policies and Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS).


    At the completion of an audit, Field Auditors undergo an end-of-audit evaluation that involves assessing their work performance, compliance with GAGAS, and professionalism.
