DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS I This is the entry level in the Auditor series. Since this class is used as a training class, employees may have only limited related work experience. This class is distinguished from the Auditor-Accountant II by the former's performance of the more routine professional tasks and duties assigned to positions within this series. Positions assigned to this level are not expected to function at the same skill level and exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods.
