We are looking for technology-oriented people to join our team of information systems auditors working to improve systems and operations within state government. Information systems audits are designed to help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the state’s IT systems, and to assess compliance with IT industry standards. Information systems auditors do not need to have strong technical expertise in specific systems or technologies, but they do need to be analytical, inquisitive, and interested in the role of technology in government policy and operations. Information systems auditors examine various aspects of state computer systems and technologies to identify areas of potential risk that could negatively impact operations. Information systems audit assignments address diverse topics ranging from system controls, data integrity, information security, project management, and IT governance. These assignments offer staff continuing variety, challenging and meaningful work, and opportunities for professional growth and advancement. Information systems auditors perform analysis of operations and data, interpret and apply various industry standards, and make recommendations to state agencies to improve operations. Auditors document their analysis and findings in audit workpapers, compose summaries and conclusions for their work, write reports, and present results to agency personnel and legislative committees. Specific tasks can include: - Assessing the risks to various state programs and systems and evaluating the controls in place to mitigate those risks
- Conducting individual and group interviews with state agencies
- Analyzing agency technology policies and practices
- Extracting and examining database information
- Evaluating information technology controls
- Conducting automated systems testing
- Analyzing compliance with associated laws, rules, policies, industry standards, and relevant best practices
- Actively pursue certifications and continuing professional education in line with the division’s needs and personal career development.
