Army To Hire 300 For Auditing
In the Fifth U.S. Army area the Army Audit Agency employs approximately 500 professional and administrative personnel. The audit work for which the Agency is responsible is highly technical and provides opportunities in the accounting and auditing profession for individuals having all necessary qualifications.
The Army Audit Agency has all audit responsibilities covering internal activities and dealings with contractors for the Department of the Army. The Agency's work involves audit in contractors' plants, Army installations, and installations owned by the Government and operated by private contractors.
A drive to secure professional civilian auditors for Civil Service positions with the United States Army Audit Agency has begun in the Fifth Army area. The announcement was made by the Kansas City Regional Office which services the 13 State Army area.
It applies to operating branch offices in Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis, and St. Louis. In addition, field offices at several Army installations and contractor activities are affected.
Job Possibilities For Recent Grads
Throughout Army Audit offices in the Fifth U.S. Army area approximately 300 professional civilian auditors are required. Opportunities exist for all grades of personnel ranging from college graduates to experienced unit supervisors and executives. Except for trainees, salary ranges are from $6,400 to $12,000 per year. Other benefits authorized by law and available to those auditors are a liberal retirement plan, employees' life insurance, and sick and annual vacation privileges.
The audit responsibilities of the Agency are continually increasing. Improvements in accounting system installations throughout the Army have created an expanded program.
A great need exists for qualified competent audit technicians who
understand the application of recognized accounting techniques. These techniques are applied to the audit and evaluation of general and cost accounting systems and management operations. Further, the scope of the audit includes organizations, finance and cost accounting, budgeting, fund accounting, revolving and working capital funds, production and financial management, and utilization of goods and services.
The Regional-Director of the Army Audit Agency stressed that the Army is as much interested in experienced older individuals as in the recent accounting graduate. Excellent professional positions are open on the basis of individual merit.
Civil Service Announcement 7 (b), available at the Post Office, lists the criteria necessary to qualify for a job. Further information concerning
opportunities within the Agency may be obtained by requesting an interview with or submitting a resume of personal qualifications to: The Director, Kansas City Regional Office, U.S. Army Audit Agency, 5505 Independence Avenue, Kansas City 23, Missouri.
