Our mission at the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) is advancing the health and well-being of all Ohioans. Our agency is committed to building a modern, vibrant public health system that creates the conditions where all Ohioans flourish.

The Office of Financial Affairs assists in the establishment of Ohio Department of Health's (ODH) long- and short-range fiscal goals and objectives. The office provides the agency with the overall fiscal administration support through its various unit operations including accounting, purchasing, budgeting and grants administration. The office oversees the department's Compliance and Accountability Unit and biennial budget process; provides technical assistance to agency decision makers and provides daily monitoring and analysis of agency spending trends.

This role offers the opportunity to conduct audits, evaluate financial and operational controls, collaborate with stakeholders and help strengthen accountability across public health programs.

• Conduct financial and compliance audits independently or as part of a team to evaluate compliance with federal and state requirements and agency policies.
• Review audit reports for organizations receiving Ohio Department of Health grant funding, follow up on audit findings, and coordinate resolution of outstanding reports.
• Evaluate internal controls and complete risk assessments to identify potential deficiencies and determine appropriate monitoring.
• Review assigned grant programs for compliance and participate in related review meetings.
• Research legislative and regulatory changes affecting audit requirements and assist in developing audit guidelines, checklists and questionnaires.
• Provide technical assistance to internal and external partners on audit requirements and program procedures.
• Collaborate with audit staff to plan and deliver training and serve as an audit team leader when assigned.
