Voucher Examination

Under the technical direction of M/CFO, the Contractor will provide voucher examiners to perform the regular duties of voucher examination on commercial invoices, posting of LOC, and IPAC transactions, and USPSC transactions, by reviewing the vouchers for legality, accuracy, and compliance with existing contractual documents and by initiating the scheduling cycle for ultimate payment and posting. This will require that staff become familiar with portfolio assignments and make judgments on the legitimacy of vendor claims against USAID agreements. Major work functions will include the following assignments:

• Examining vouchers to ensure that contractual provisions have been met, that services were properly rendered, that costs are within contractual limitations and that the payee and amount are properly scheduled.
• Ensuring that vouchers are properly filed, that physical records reconcile to the Office of Acquisition and Assistance (M/OAA) for proper close-out, and that files are closed out at contract completion.
• Applying Prompt Payment Act provisions to take discounts offered by vendors and to make payments timely to mitigate late payment/interest penalties. The contractor will be required to collect information on both discounts and interest penalties for reporting to the Director of Cash Management and Payments and the Chief Financial Officer.

• The Junior Voucher Examiner must possess a bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Auditing and 3 years of experience in government payments, reconciliation and payroll activities or 8 years of experience in the above activities. The additional 5 years can be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
• Experience with USAID and Department of State Voucher Examination is highly desired.
