Description
Ownership of the operational direction of activities responsible for identifying, documenting, and implementing internal financial controls. Ensures compliance with regulatory requirements in accordance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX). Coordinates with internal and external auditors to develop and improve processes, policies and procedures that pertain to SOX compliance. Evaluates new operations or processes for SOX implications, and supports compliance processes by planning and providing employee training on SOX awareness programs. The primary duty of employees in this classification is the management of a customarily recognized department or subdivision, including the supervision of three or more full-time equivalent employees every week. Direction is over a permanent status-continuing function, not a collection of employees assigned to complete a project. Management duties include interviewing, selecting and training of employees; setting and adjusting their rates of pay and hours of work; planning and directing their work; appraising their productivity and efficiency for the purpose of recommending promotions or other changes in their status; handling their complaints and grievances and disciplining them when necessary. Management responsibilities include the authority to hire, fire, or promote assigned employees or make recommendations that are given particular weight. Employees have impact on budgeting, controlling costs, planning, scheduling, and procedural change. Under FLSA, this is the exempt job classification for this title. Incumbents in this position must meet the full criteria for exempt status: salary level, salary basis, and duties tests.
