About the Position:

The USPS OIG conducts performance audits and reviews of multiple Postal Service functional areas.

The GS-07 equivalent is the trainee level in the area of auditing. The employee serves as a junior member of an audit team assisting with systematic performance, financial, or attestation reviews and audits of Postal Service programs and operations. Work assignments are selected to provide supervised on-the-job training in auditing techniques and reporting, the analytical aspects of the work, and in the appropriate use of analysis methods and techniques.

The GS-09 equivalent serves as a member of an audit team conducting systematic performance, financial, or attestation reviews and audits of Postal Service programs and operations, including assessments of efficiency, adequacy of internal controls; compliance with laws, regulations, policies, and/or contracts; and detection of fraud, waste, and abuse.

The GS-9 level is distinguished from the GS-07 level by the ability to work independently to complete assignments of average difficulty. The employee may participate in more complex studies and projects designed to develop broader expertise, including:

• Performing assigned audit functions in accordance with OIG policies and procedures, and Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards.
• Assisting team with researching and planning audits.
• Executing data collection efforts, ensuring that evidence collected is reliable, sufficient, relevant, and documented in work papers.
• Reviewing and interpreting financial documents, policies, procedures, and contracts to determine accuracy.
• Applying appropriate quantitative and qualitative analytical methods and tools to collect, arrange, process, and present data.
• Using critical thinking, data analytics, and applied logic to interpret data and identify insights and risks.
• Producing audit documentation such as internal reports, follow-up assessments, findings, corrective and preventive action plans, process flow charts, and work instructions, to effectively communicate to internal and external stakeholders.
• Drafting audit reports and other documents that are clear, convincing, accurate, technically thorough, and appropriately targeted to OIG customers.

Compensation: The USPS OIG uses a Pay Banding system, which is equivalent to the Federal GS scale. Grade and salary determinations will be made based upon a candidate's education and professional experience.

These positions are being advertised at the Journey Band level, equivalent to a GS-07/09. The salary range for these positions is $51,740.00 - $91,815.00. The salary figures include locality pay. For locality table specifics, visit: OPM's General Schedule (GS).
