Assistant State Auditor - Information Systems Audit Division
Work with us and make an impact on North Carolina government.
The Office of the State Auditor (OSA) is the Taxpayers' Watchdog. We watch over government spending to make sure state agencies manage citizen's tax dollars wisely, deliver services effectively, and report results accurately.
The Information Systems Audit (ISA) Division of the OSA is responsible for assessing information technology (IT) risk and the effectiveness of the IT control environment for the State of North Carolina. In addition, the ISA division is responsible for building and maintaining effective and sustainable data analytics to assist the office as a whole. Our data analytics program is designed to grow the value and impact of the "effective examinations of state organizations and programs" while also increasing the efficiency of the "examinations of state organizations and programs."
Our work is important because an IT audit could help to reduce risks of data tampering, data loss or leakage, service disruption, and poor management of IT systems.
