Auditor II

The Auditor II's role is to perform assigned audit procedures designed to achieve audit objectives, under the guidance of an audit lead. The role will regularly interact with CSX management and external parties (e.g., external auditors, suppliers, contractors, etc.) as needed with some supervision. The work requires understanding audit objectives and procedures, documenting the processes and controls of a wide array of business functions and locations, confirming management's work through re-performance, identifying and analyzing exceptions, and effectively communicating observations to the audit lead and management related to assigned audit procedures. While auditors are guided by department standards and methodologies, audits may be in areas where prior audits have not occurred recently, requiring acumen and adaptability to identify risks and test plans. Given the scope and roles of auditors and auditees, a sense of urgency is required, and initiative to maintain presence and momentum. Ability to exercise professional judgement and confidentiality around sensitive information is critical. The Auditor II may be assigned supervision over a team member (e.g., intern) to accomplish these tasks.
