Field Auditor Analysis
I'm glad things are going well. I knew you would be happier with your current position. Isn't a 180 from Ivy Tech? That's why I wanted you to get out of there so bad because I don't think you remember how much better it could be.
Things are going well. I hit the ground running. Working on final approval for the department charter. Working on the risk assessment and identifying all the areas for the universe. Early next week I should have a list of all the auditable areas and start working on sending risk assessment surveys out. My goal is to get the risk assessment done by end of November and get an audit plan done early December. Nobody expects it until sometime in January; however, you know how I like to be an over achiever.

the bidding stuff for the audit software workpaper solution and data analytics. I'm hoping to get the workpaper solution software up in going sometime in December so that it is in place before I have a full team. Data analytics maybe sometime from Jan-March to get in place.
As for getting a team.
That's a little more challenging. I have conducted the first round of interviews and I'm going to interview one candidate one more time; however, may decided not to hire him. Another I like; however, she has no finance or accounting background. I just wish I could combine the two candidates and I would have one good one. I get another batch of applicants first week of November. I hope it is a better batch. The title of the positions hurts Field Auditor 2 (Senior Auditor) and Field Auditor 3 (Internal Auditor). That's just the classification they can be called anything; however, it hurts because it's what's indicated on the job description. Additionally, they posted the minimum salary of $33K & 30K which I'm going to pay a lot more than that which of course hurts things. I'm working with HR to remove the minimum salary, move to mid range, or something for the next posting. I'm sure that will …show more content…
help.
Additionally, I have no good candidates for the Sr.
Auditor role and have the state recruiter on it. Again I think working with HR to to fix the minimum salary issue will help. We will see with the next round of applicants. I'm going to push them to work with the universities to get some good candidates for the Internal Audit job (December graduates). As for the Senior Auditor it will be an uphill battle but I hope to hire good auditors (2 years experience) who I can train to be good Senior's. My goal is to get a team in place sometime in January; however, having a full department at that time may be
optimistic.
You don't have any good candidates for me do you?
I did run into everyone at the conference. Judy basically said she just going to ride it out; however, may reduce her production. Not surprising. Charlotte talk in private with me about applying for the Internal Audit position. Not sure if she did and to be honest at this point she couldn't make anything worse. It's just a disaster.
