The Position | This is professional accounting work at the action level involved in the analysis, maintenance, and auditing of specially funded accounts relating to grants and contracts affecting District-wide operations.

A high degree of independent judgment and creativity are required to maintain, select, and analyze financial data in order to make original recommendations, prepare claims, and resolve a variety of minor and potentially major problems that occur. Consequences of errors in judgment can be costly in employee time, public relations and/or institution funding; however, administrative controls limit the risk of serious consequences.
