This position is well suited for someone who enjoys understanding how organizations work, analyzing information, asking good questions, and identifying practical ways to strengthen operations and controls. Our Internal Audit team works throughout County government. Rather than focusing on one narrow business process, you will gain exposure to a wide range of departments, financial activities, operational processes, statutory requirements, systems, and public services. The position performs financial, operational, compliance, and internal-control audits and evaluates risks involving internal controls, compliance, safeguarding of assets, financial and operational information, fraud, waste, abuse, and noncompliance. What You'll Do You will have the opportunity to independently take audit assignments from planning through completion , including: Planning audits and developing objectives, scope, and testing procedures. Conducting financial, operational, compliance, and internal-control audits and reviews. Learning how County departments and processes operate and identifying significant risks.

Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone who is curious, analytical, objective, and comfortable exercising professional judgment . A strong candidate will be able to look beyond an individual transaction and understand the larger process: What could go wrong? Are the controls working? Does the data make sense? Are County resources adequately protected? Is the process accomplishing what it is supposed to accomplish? You should be comfortable working independently, researching unfamiliar subjects, handling sensitive information, writing clearly, and professionally discussing audit results—even when the subject matter is difficult. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university in accounting, finance, business administration, public administration, or a closely related field ; and At least two years of progressively responsible professional experience in internal auditing, external auditing, governmental accounting, financial analysis, compliance, internal controls, or a closely related field.

Experience evaluating internal controls and developing audit findings. Strong Microsoft Excel skills. Experience with Caseware IDEA or similar audit/data-analysis software . A CIA, CPA, CFE, or similar professional certification—or an interest in pursuing one. Why Johnson County Internal Audit? County government offers an unusually broad audit environment. One assignment may involve financial transactions; another may involve an operational process, statutory requirement, internal control, data set, or an entirely different County function. That makes this a strong opportunity for an auditor who enjoys variety, problem-solving, data analysis, research, and understanding how things work . You will not simply be performing the same audit repeatedly. You will have the opportunity to build broad professional experience, exercise independent judgment, work directly with County leadership, and see how your work contributes to better controls, stronger operations, and responsible stewardship of public resources. If you want an audit position where you can keep learning, work on different problems, and see the impact of your work, we would like to hear from you.
