Travel
The Agency's mission
requires its auditors to travel to audit sites. These assignments are
challenging and take the auditor to interesting and exciting locations.
Because audit work
requirements vary, audit sites are usually at locations other than the auditor's
official duty station. The Agency pays for official travel, however, the
amount of travel depends on the audit, functional team, and field office
the auditor is assigned to. At times, auditors may be required to travel up
to 80%. The type of travel (local or over-night) also depends on the audit
work requirements. An auditor may be required to travel locally which
entails traveling to the audit site and returning home everyday. On the
other hand, an auditor may be required to travel over-night (commonly
referred to as "TDY" or temporary duty). This type of travel can
vary from a one or two night stay to as long as several weeks. As resources
become scarce and audit teams use the latest technology, managers are
finding smarter and more efficient ways to accomplish their mission with
less travel.
