OPM has issued draft Qualifications Standards for the Auditor, GS-511 series. One of the proposed changes to these standards is new mandatory education requirements which would require either a bachelor's degree in accounting OR a bachelor's degree in a related field such as business administration, economics, finance, or public administration that included at least 24 semester hours of accounting. Once these new GS-511 qualifications standards are effective, any Upward Mobility Program participant in the GS-503 series would have to satisfy the more stringent education requirements before being eligible for assignment to the GS-511 series. It is expected that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) will implement these new qualification standards within the next twelve months. If OPM implements the proposed changes to include the new mandatory education requirements, your upward mobility program may be extended to a total of four years, with one twelve-month extension allowed for demonstrated good cause.
