The Audits Division is responsible for conducting thorough and timely audits pursuant to the Commission’s Charter authority and mandate under City law. The purpose of the Commission’s audits is to determine whether auditees have materially complied with applicable requirements of State and local laws, including campaign finance, Form 700 disclosures, conflict of interest, government ethics, lobbying, and public disclosure laws.

CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Initially, under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform general office support work such as customer service at the front counter and over the phone, file and records maintenance, data entry, and screening phone calls, visitors, and mail, and directing questions to the appropriate staff. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied, complex, and difficult; and positions exercise judgment and initiative in their assigned tasks, receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is distinguished from the Administrative Assistant in that the latter performs more advanced technical and specialized administrative support duties requiring additional training and/or experience and is typically assigned to provide administrative assistance in support of a division manager or department head.
