Revenue Auditors acquire and apply significant knowledge of taxation and auditing, while benefiting from a flexible work schedule that provides for a great work/life balance. The audits performed ensure that businesses and individuals comply with the Nebraska income tax, sales and use tax, tax incentive, and other taxing statutes. The audit process requires analysis of complex transactions and critical decision making. Revenue Auditors will have opportunities to serve as an auditor in-charge and will have responsibility for guiding the development of other members of the audit team. There are five levels of the Revenue Auditor class series within the Department of Revenue: Revenue Auditor I, Revenue Auditor II, Revenue Auditor III, Revenue Auditor IV, and Revenue Audit Manager, each level having a defined development path.

The Revenue Auditor I: performs work in a training status to build their skills in completing various types of audits. As incumbents develop their knowledge and skills, they will be assigned as an in-charge auditor of level 1 and 2 audits, with determinations/findings reviewed by an Auditor IV or Revenue Audit Manager. The limited nature of the assigned work, on-the-job training, and guidance given distinguish this class from the Revenue Auditor II.

The Revenue Auditor II: is primarily assigned as the in-charge auditor for level 2 and 3 audits. As incumbents develop their knowledge and skills, they will be assigned as an in¬ charge auditor of the advanced level 4 audits. The level of work assigned and continued training received distinguish this class from the Revenue Auditor III.

The Revenue Auditor III: is the full performance classification, where incumbents spend the majority of time functioning as the in-charge auditor for the most difficult audits or coordinating a specialized audit function.
