Air Force Audit Agency

We provide audit services for Air Force operations and activities at all levels. Most of our work involves operational audits in areas such as procurement, logistics, civil engineering, operational readiness, information systems, and other activities. Financial auditing comprises about 10 percent of our total workload.

Career Progression

Most auditors begin at the GS-7 level. Upon completion of the 3-year training program, employees are promoted, non-competitively, to GS-12. We encourage auditors to apply for advancement to Audit Manager positions located at Joint San Antonio (Randolph) TX, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (Fairborn) OH, Maxwell Air Force Base (Montgomery) AL, Peterson Air Force Base (Colorado Springs) CO, and the Washington DC area.

You have the opportunity for executive development through participation in the Air Force Audit Career Program (after meeting minimum progression requirements). Under this program, you become eligible for selected training and career enhancing opportunities. See the "Career Development" section for additional information.
