The incumbent must provide a thorough review to ensure that the OIPI maintains sound fiscal control of various state and federal grant programs. S/He recommends appropriate action for OIPI fiscal matters for both grants and the operating budget ranging from initial commitment of funds through audit reconciliation. A typical problem confronting the incumbent is to control the fiscal activity for a variety of grant programs and incorporate requirements of fiscal compliance which often require special attention for the review and processing of documents. Other typical problems include maintaining a sound and efficient fiscal management program and recommending an effective allocation of resources for the OIPI’s operating budget. The greatest challenges are to develop an overall understanding of federal and state rules and guidelines for the financial programs of the OIPI to ensure they are consistently applied when reviewing contracts and invoices, to propose sound recommendations and refinements, and to produce and process accurate fiscal reports and documents in a timely manner. The volume of reports and documents generated by the incumbent makes timeliness an ongoing challenge in this position.

S/He prepares monthly and quarterly status reports of fiscal transactions and maintains budget documents. The incumbent also assists with the development and annual maintenance of written processes and procedures for fiscal activities and maintains proper shared files for all fiscal documents. This position is constrained by departmental rules and regulations. The incumbent has latitude to accomplish tasks but refers matters of a unique and/or sensitive nature to the Financial Services Manager for consultation. This position maintains constant contact with OIPI staff in order to coordinate fiscal activities. In addition, the incumbent maintains contact with the Office of Finance and Administration and the Office of Planning and Programming. Externally the incumbent maintains contact with the Department of Central Management Services, Federal Transit Administration, and various vendors and organizations with which the department does business. This position requires occasional in-state travel which may include overnight stays.
