Description of Job
The OSA is looking for a Legislative Financial Audit intern who is passionate about improving Colorado and committed to results. We need a creative, flexible, results-oriented team player with strong analytical skills, keen investigative instincts, and exceptional communication and people skills.
Our full-time (40 hours per week) paid internship program is designed to accomplish three things: 1) provide the intern an opportunity to work with a team on a relevant project(s) within our financial auditing division, 2) formally train and develop their skills, and 3) provide him/her with a realistic preview of what full-time employment would be like as an auditor. An intern's responsibilities are similar to that of a full-time Financial Auditor. Interns go through a series of training, team experiences, and agency interactions to help them orient to the OSA and understand auditing. Interns will be expected to:
- Interact with multiple levels of state government to assess government financial performance, stewardship, and operations.
- Analyze large volumes of information and data to evaluate agency financial activities in relation to statutes, regulations, fiscal rules, generally accepted accounting principles, and standards of program efficiency and effectiveness.
- Identify possible findings and recommendations in accordance with OSA guidelines.
