Experience:

Developed five audit proposals, one memorandum report, and one final audit report package.
- Received an exceptional annual appraisal and a performance award for 2003.
- Led and managed a staff of six on the multilocation Audit of Contracts for Logistics Services. Audit resulted in the identification of weaknesses in the way command personnel monitored contractors services. We made several value added recommendations to immediately improve and strengthen their operations.
- Identified opportunities for dollar savings on my current multilocation Audit of Controlled Humidity Storage Sites related to construction and other contract costs for underutilized facilities and their plans for additional facilities.
- Enhanced my managerial and supervisory experiences by working closely with my Managing Auditor to learn additional techniques and methods for managing personnel and audit engagements.
- Managed audit engagements budget, phases, milestones, and staffing data in my Agency automated system (AAAsist); coordinated and conducted meetings with high level officials; and finalized report packages (quality control checklist reviews, executive summaries, and more).
- Mentored and taught new auditors techniques for the initial contact with key command officials on complex issues in which command may become difficult to work with.
- Provided timely midpoint, engagement, and annual performance appraisals for several auditors.
SENIOR AUDITOR (3/93 to 5/03)
Worked on 24 assignments (one consulting effort, one outside agency assist effort, 12 single location audits, and 10 multilocation audits). Served as Auditor-in-Charge on three assignments, Assistant Auditor in Charge on one assignment, Lead Auditor on 13 assignments, and Staff Auditor on the remaining seven assignments. Worked in many functional areas: medical, systems, financial, training, logistics, and contracting. Developed one audit proposal, ten audit programs, two audit guide replies, eight memorandum reports, one consulting report, three observations, one manual, seven findings, and three audit reports. Also assisted supervisors with writing other portions of a final report packages.
- Received exceptional annual appraisals, and performance awards, during the years 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, and 1996.
- Maintained professional, honest, and respectful communications during the Followup Review of Forces Command Materiel Management Center, although customers were often adversary. Tactfully and firmly addressed issues, and fostered cooperation to allow us to complete the review in less time than allotted.
- Work on the complex Audit of Retail Supply Operations (Phase One) led to the recovery of about $1.4 million in Operations and Maintenance, Army and Army Working Capital Fund obligation authority for the XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg, and Special Operations Command. Open and honest communications, as well as excellent command relations, led to a command request for additional work in the area. Conducted several requested analyses for command that resulted in the identification of additional invalid local purchase requisitions that led to the recovery of about $149,000 more of obligation authority.
- Detailed review of authorized stockage levels, on the Audit of Standard Army Retail Supply System, and revealed about $18 million in excess stockage on hand at installations.
- Led a single location audit engagement as the Auditor in Charge (Audit of Troop and Family Housing), with a staff of one person. Audit resulted in savings to the Army for the elimination of accountability over linen and other low cost items. Related costs (for storing, accounting, and personnel) exceeded the benefits of having the items (sheets, pillowcases, pillows, etc.) on hand. Efforts at the Fort Bragg audit site helped to support Armywide recommendations for the elimination of low cost items, estimated to be in excess of $20 million.
- Served as the Assistant Auditor in Charge (responsible for a staffing of two people) on the Audit of Reserve Component Payroll Maryland Army National Guard. Problem definition skills resulted in the identification of the root cause for problems related to soldiers receiving unauthorized bonus payments (responsible units not understanding the program and the related reports). Convinced command that the development of a handbook, describing both bonus programs under review, could assist units in managing the programs. Also advised that the development of a template could assist units in reading the Bonus report. Command agreed, and we assisted them with the efforts. As a result of timely notification of the problems found, and the immediate actions taken, command chose to waive the exit conference.
