What are the responsibilities and job description for the Revenue Field Auditor - Hickory position at State of North Carolina?

Are you a highly skilled accounting professional with an interest in auditing? Are you looking to transition your expertise into a meaningful public service role? Join our team and make a significant impact by helping ensure taxpayers are complying with North Carolina tax laws and providing revenue to support state operations and services.

The North Carolina Department of Revenue is looking for a Revenue Field Auditor to work out of the Hickory service Center. This is a full-time, permanent position with a hybrid remote work schedule and State Benefits, including health insurance, paid vacation, paid sick time, paid holidays, as well as retirement.

The primary purpose of a Revenue Field Auditor I is to conduct independent examinations of financial records of taxpayers that have unique or special audit features or anticipated accounting, tax law, or investigative problems. It is the responsibility of this position to review and audit all tax schedules administered by the Department to ensure they are in compliance with the statutes and to make appropriate adjustments based on the accounting records available.

The Revenue Field Auditor I maintains an audit plan, which includes simultaneously selecting audit candidates, scheduling taxpayer interviews, reviewing provided records, and preparing and submitting audit reports for timely review. The Revenue Field Auditor I utilizes resourcefulness and good judgement to select taxpayers that appear not to be in compliance with state tax laws and select taxpayers for audit where adjustments generate additional tax revenues. This work is completed independently with minimum oversight from management. This position involves regular travel to taxpayer locations within an assigned territory and limited overnight travel. Access to reliable transportation and a valid driver's license is required.
•    Basic knowledge of the Internal Revenue Code and State Tax Laws across multiple schedules

•    Basic knowledge of auditing and accounting principles and practices 
•    Effective analytical skills that would be helpful with investigation of complex tax compliance issues
