Role
The Senior Administrative Analyst will work as part of SANDAG’s Office of the Independent Performance Auditor (OIPA) to help ensure OIPA is effective and efficient in their administrative operations and intergovernmental responsibilities. The position will provide complex professional, analytical, and administrative support for the OIPA, the SANDAG Audit Committee, and provide general administrative audit and investigative support.
Office of the Independent Performance Auditor
On January 1, 2018, a new California Assembly Bill (AB 805) required the creation of the Audit Committee and an Independent Performance Auditor (IPA) position.

OIPA serves as the Board of Directors’ oversight function that objectively evaluates and recommends improvements to SANDAG operations. The IPA presents an annual work plan to the Audit Committee for approval based upon the results of an annual risk assessment. OIPA is also the official body of SANDAG to investigate allegations of potential fraud, waste, abuse, and gross mismanagement identified by SANDAG staff or other stakeholders.
