Operations and Audit

Operations Manager
The Operations Manager of the Administrative Office of the Courts is responsible for carrying out multiple business operations, services, and projects to support the statewide court system. This includes assisting the Director with strategic planning, enterprise risk management and the development and implementation of a strong system of internal controls, particularly with regard to financial record-keeping, asset management, accountability measures, policy development, and adherence to best practices in Judicial Branch/government administration. 

The Internal Audit team is responsible for performing court audits, as well as audits of the departments that make up the Administrative Office of the Courts. Audit objectives include ensuring compliance with Judicial Branch policies, processing manuals, Administrative Orders, Court Rules, and applicable New Hampshire and federal statutes, to evaluate and test courts’ internal control structures, and to determine whether balances reported as of the end of the audit periods are fairly stated. This independent and objective review ensures the Judicial Branch is maintaining an effective system of internal control to safeguard resources and ensure financial accountability and compliance with fiscal-related regulatory requirements.
