The incumbent of this position serves as an Auditor utilizing a professional knowledge of auditing principles and procedures in carrying out complex assignments in one or more OAS administrative programs. The incumbent also plans, coordinates, and implements a continuing program for maintaining current state-of-the-art application of statistical sampling, mathematical, and audit techniques throughout the nation.
The incumbent serves as an OIG subject matter expert in either the public health and human services (PHHS) division or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Audit division (CMSAD).
The incumbent in the PHHS division is a subject matter expert of about 100 designated HHS PHHS programs that fund medical research and the development of health resources and services and assist the elderly, disadvantaged and handicapped children, youth, families, Native Americans, and other people with special needs. These programs are a high priority to OIG and are of huge magnitude (over $100 billion in grants annually and over $25 billion in contracts annually), of great diversity and very large in number, of broad scope (thousands of grantees and contractors), of differing funding methods (such as block grants, categorical grants, contracts, and loans) and of unusual complexity (multi-Governmental, public and private administrative structures including the complex and extensive administrative structure of the Department and have differing program requirements and regulations).
The incumbent in CMSAD serves as a subject matter expert for Medicare, Medicaid, and Childrens Health Insurance programs which are extremely large (approximately $1.5 trillion in annual spending) Federal healthcare programs with very complex rules and regulations. The incumbent assists in directing PHHS or CMSAD audits that focus on applicable OIG priority outcomes. The incumbent develops an understanding of and synthesizes the political, social, economic, technical, and administrative factors that affect the program area with respect to efficiency, effectiveness, and economy, as well as fraud, waste, and abuse.
