## Description

AlphaGov (Casa Moon LLC d/b/a AlphaGov) delivers public-sector consulting for cities, counties, school systems, special districts, utilities, and related agencies. Our work spans classification and compensation, organizational and operational studies, research and program evaluation, financial and grants-management services, compliance and audit support, and applied data and infrastructure research.  
  
We engage experienced practitioners as project-based collaborators. Engagements are remote-first with travel as required for client and field sites. We build ready teams for live pursuits — not speculative staffing banks.  
  
This opportunity is contingent upon contract award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal.  
  
AlphaGov is seeking a Lead Auditor (GAGAS/Compliance) to lead audit engagements under a multi-year public-sector work-order vehicle supporting a state transportation compliance bureau — including external audits, desk reviews, and investigations, with supervision of staff auditors.  
  
What you'll do:  
Lead GAGAS/GAAS-compliant audit engagements assigned via work orders (external audits, desk reviews, investigations)  
Supervise staff auditors and ensure workpaper and report quality  
Produce GAGAS-compliant audit reports and workpapers to client standards  
Support training and knowledge transfer for client compliance staff  
Contribute lead-auditor qualifications and past-performance narrative to AlphaGov proposals when permissioned
