City Auditor Department - Employment

Across the country the need for internal audit professionals is at an all time high. Organizations and the related reporting of their financial conditions are growing more and more complex. At the same time, financial markets, investors, customers and taxpayers demand more transparency and confidence in the financial information provided by organizations.

Public accounting firms, private sector businesses, and government entities all compete for the same experienced audit professionals and new college graduates that have the technical, analytical, and communication skills to meet the ever increasing demand for internal and external audit services.

At the City Auditor Department our success in meeting our mission and maximizing the value we add to our organization is dependent on one critical factor: the talent of the staff we can attract and retain. Managers at the City Auditor Department are evaluated not only based on output, economic impact, and percentage of the audit plan completed but also on employee satisfaction. While we didn’t invent the approach that satisfied employees lead to satisfied customers, we certainly strive for that at the City Auditor Department.

When a vacancy occurs, job recruitments are posted on the city's general employment opportunities web site. For more information about city employment, please visit City of Phoenix Job Opportunities.

The City Auditor Department fully endorses and supports the concept of equal business and employment opportunities for all individuals. Please see the attached for our department's Commitment to Equal Opportunity.
