Exempt to Permanent - 1684 Auditor II (E10185)

This is the journey-level classification in the Auditor series.

It is distinguished from the Auditor I class in that incumbents in the latter, entry-level class perform less complex duties and may be supervised by Auditor II. Auditor positions are specific to the Controller's Office because of the increased scope of work and the specific mandates of Charter Appendix F, "Authority and Duties of City Services Auditor," and because of the need and ability to work with a wide variety of contacts and stakeholders.
