Summary
An Inspector General Financial Auditor-NRO conducts and oversees performance and financial-related audits to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of National Reconnaissance Office operations.
Duties
As an Inspector General Financial Auditor detailed to the NRO, your responsibilities will include developing and writing audit guides; developing and documenting audit findings in accordance with accepted government auditing standards; and developing audit conclusions and recommendations designed to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of NRO operations. Additional duties include planning audits; assessing risk; testing controls; collecting information; analyzing data; examining and evaluating documents; managing resources; and identifying issues. Using your knowledge of accounting and management concepts, principles, and techniques and ability to understand and assess complex issues, you will analyze programs and activities while recommending appropriate action. This position requires interaction with senior NRO and contractor officials; therefore, clear and concise communication is imperative.
