State Auditor's Office Work Values

Daily Duties at State Auditor's Office:

I conduct performance and compliance audits of state departments and authorities in MA, in order to identify any instances of fraud or misuse of taxpayer funds. I am heavily involved in all aspects of the audit process from contributing to fraud brainstorming sessions, developing audit objectives, performing data analysis as it relates to planning, conducting walk-throughs of systems and processes, developing and performing internal control and substantive tests, assessing the results of the tests, and developing recommendations for the auditee to improve its processes, and in turn, improve the services it provides to its recipients.

What they like about State Auditor's Office:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
