Job Description

Virginia's community colleges have a 50-year track record of educational excellence and innovation to serve the needs of our citizens and strengthen the Commonwealth's economy. When Virginia's General Assembly established the Virginia Community College System in 1966, the need for a comprehensive system was well known. Over the two decades after the end of World War II, leaders in government, business, professional sectors, and academia had called for a new approach to providing educational opportunity. A key concern was Virginia's ability to develop a skilled and knowledgeable workforce to expand the state's economy. Today our community colleges give every Virginian the opportunity to gain a quality education. With 23 colleges on 40 campuses located throughout the state, Virginia's Community Colleges are committed to serving Virginia families, helping them acquire the knowledge and skills to seize the opportunities of today and tomorrow.

The mission of Internal Audit is to provide the State Board, the Chancellor, and the presidents and administrators of Virginia's Community Colleges with independent and objective assurance and consulting services that are guided by a philosophy of adding value to improve the operations of the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) and to assist the VCCS in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the organization's risk management, control, and governance processes.

The Director of Internal Audit is a faculty ranked position that reports functionally to the State Board for Community Colleges and administratively to the Chancellor. The appointment or removal of the Director, and significant changes to the Director's compensation, requires the concurrence of the Audit Committee. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, maintaining a comprehensive audit program and supervising the examination of the operations of 23 community colleges, the System Office and the VCCS Shared Services Center. This position establishes and maintains the policies of the audit activity and directs its technical and administrative functions. The Director recommends improvements in managerial, and accounting controls designed to safeguard the System's resources. This position also represents Internal Audit on the Chancellor's Cabinet, Advisory Council of Presidents, and other committees as deemed necessary.

Essential Job Functions :

• Supervise the overall work quality of the internal audit department, which includes maintaining the department's conformance to the Global Internal Audit Standards as promulgated by the Institute of Internal Auditors.
• Using an appropriate risk-based methodology, develop the annual audit strategy, audit plan and audit scope for review and approval by the Internal Audit Committee and the State Board.
• Manage all internal audit activity, including coordinating with external service providers, to coordinate audit projects, assessments, and any enterprise level regulatory audit requirements.
• Manage all investigations of suspected fraud, waste, or abuse within the organization whether received internally or from the Office of the State Inspector General (OSIG), and notify the Audit Committee, management, and OSIG of the results.
• Implement the approved audit plan and report on results relating to the internal control environment and financial and operational controls, processes, and system capabilities.
• Establish and maintain key relationships throughout the organization as a means of supporting management as a credible and trusted partner.
• Obtain information needed to perform functional duties, provide business advisory service, and deliver strategic recommendations.
• Professionally communicate both orally and in writing and prepare formal presentations and reports with executive summaries and recommendations based on audit results to senior management and the Audit Committee of the State Board.
