Here's a summary of responsibilities :

The Sr. Director, Internal Audit and NGB Audit, leads the USOPC’s efforts to conduct compliance audits of National Governing Bodies (NGB) to assess NGBs’ adherence to the membership requirements set forth in the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act, USOPC Bylaws, and other USOPC policies (collectively the “Requirements”).  The Sr. Director’s goal, both directly and through NGB Audit staff, is to measure NGBs’ compliance with the Requirements and to help NGBs achieve organizational success. The NGB Audit team ensures NGB adherence to the Requirements by 1) performing audits against the USOPC’s Compliance Standards for NGBs and the accompanying Implementation Guide; 2) identifying areas of non-compliance; and 3) conducting reviews to ensure that implementation of certain management action plans are operational and sustainable.

The Sr. Director will also lead the evaluation of the scale of a USOPC internal audit function and compliance audit function and will be responsible for the establishment of both functions, including developing an appropriately sized and scoped program using industry-wide principals as benchmarks, working with the applicable oversight committee(s) to develop the scope and frequency of internal and compliance audits, and determining any staffing needs. Additionally, the Sr. Director will oversee the strategy and day-to-day operations of the NGB Audit and USOPC internal audit and compliance audit programs.

The Sr. Director reports formally to the Chief Ethics & Compliance Office. The Sr. Director will also provide periodic reports on NGB Audit matters to the National Governing Body Oversight and Compliance Committee (NGBOC Committee) and will provide periodic reports to the applicable oversight committees for internal and compliance audits.

Here’s how you’ll have an impact :

• Direct both the long-term and day-to-day operations of all NGB Audit functions. Establish and maintain the policies, procedures, and standards used in accomplishing departmental tasks, adhering to the IIA’s International Professional Practices Framework when possible.
• Develop and implement the strategic plan, operating plan, and performance metrics for the NGB Audit function. Lead the development and communication of the department’s vision, mission, and results to all appropriate stakeholders.
• Gather feedback from key constituents while using a risk-based approach to develop an annual and long-term audit plan and execute the audit plan annually.
• Continuously improve NGB audit functions, communicate and generate a positive understanding and appreciation for these functions in the US Olympic & Paralympic community, and ensure these functions are approachable and engaging for that community.
• Communicate audit findings to the USOPC Compliance team to ensure findings are accounted for in team’s strategy, ongoing monitoring, and training provided to NGBs.
• Report audit results to Board of Directors and NGBOC Committee as necessary.
• Conduct second-level reviews of audits to ensure consistency in findings across audits and to ensure audits sufficiently address scope and risks identified in previous audits.
• Manage the NGB Audit staff, including assigning audits, conducting performance reviews, and effectively communicating deadlines and performance expectations to auditors.  Provide informal ongoing feedback and develop professional development plans for NGB Audit team.
• Review and approve scope for all audits and work with NGBs to identify any exception requests in advance of audit. Review and approve work papers and drafts of audit reports prepared by staff.
• Review management action plans to ensure they are designed to effectively address audit findings, and issue final audit reports.
• Coordinate with the Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer to review audit scope to ensure that previously identified and new risks are considered in the audit scope.
• Evaluate the adequacy of NGB actions in response to audit findings. Validate NGBs’ remediation of findings to confirm completion and escalate NGBs’ inability and / or failure to timely address audit findings with relevant internal stakeholders.
• Participate in continuing education related to new legislation, regulatory requirements and expectations, industry developments, as well as professional development, best practices, and latest techniques within audit profession.
