Field Auditor 1 / Trainee 1/Trainee 2 (NY HELPS)
Job Description
Field auditors perform reviews of employers' payrolls, financial and other pertinent records, as well as physical operations, to verify reported payrolls and operations for specified policy periods. This is done in compliance with Workers' Compensation Insurance laws, rules, regulations, and guidelines. Field auditors must apply professional accounting and auditing standards and principles alongside the Workers’ Compensation guidelines.
Reviews are generally conducted in the field, meaning the Auditor is responsible for traveling to the employer’s location or an alternate agreed-upon location, whether it be a conference room, accountant’s office, or personal residence depending on the size of the policyholder. The employer may opt for a virtual interactive video conference where they provide records on their computer screen for the auditor’s review or choose to have the review done remotely by uploading all records to our secure site for the auditor to review and discuss with them thereafter. However, frequent travel is to be expected for the position.
Auditor trainees will receive a combination of structured training, on-the-job training, and/or practical job performance to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to function at the full performance level.
Please note, employment experience obtained as a Field Auditor 1 at NYSIF is not considered qualifying experience for prospective Certified Public Accountant (CPA) candidates.
