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 outlined in the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act, USOPC Bylaws, and other USOPC policies (collectively the "Requirements"). The Sr. Director's goal, directly and through NGB Audit staff, is to measure NGBs' compliance with the Requirements and 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:

• 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 the team's strategy, ongoing monitoring, and training provided to NGBs.
• Report audit results to the 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 the 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 the NGB Audit team.
• Review and approve the 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 address audit findings, and issue final audit reports effectively.
• 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.

• In consultation with the committee responsible for internal audit oversight, select co-source partner to conduct internal audits under the scope and schedule defined by oversight committee.
• Communicate purpose and scope to USOPC leadership and USOPC departments subject to internal audits.

USOPC Compliance Audits
