Assurance Senior

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse job posting. Job Summary: The Assurance Senior will be responsible for coordinating the day-to-day "in-charge" duties of planning, fieldwork and "wrap-up" to include the preparing of financial statements with disclosures, applying most areas of GAAP as necessary and documenting, validating, testing and assessing various control systems. This position is also responsible for acting as the client contact for basic questions and information and may be involved in reviews and agreed-upon procedure engagements. Then Job Duties with many subheadings: Control Environment, Gaap, SEC And PCAOB, Gaas, Methodology, Research, Other duties as required, Supervisory Responsibilities. We need to produce a list of duties/requirements/benefits using

• . Use

  for prose. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role: maybe the Job Summary qualifies as About the role. Could be "About the role" heading. - Responsibilities: could be the Job Duties (list of duties). Could be "Responsibilities". - Requirements: Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Experience, License/Certifications, Software Proficiency, Language, Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. - Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have Pay: salary ranges listed for many states. That's specific content. So we should include Pay section. Benefits: The posting mentions ESOP, total rewards, etc. There's a Benefits section: "About Us" includes description of benefits: ESOP, total rewards, etc. Also "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards...". So we have benefits content. Schedule: Not mentioned. No schedule info. So omit. Skills: Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. But we have "Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" list. Could be Skills section. Qualifications: Could be education, experience, certifications. We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:

  Responsibilities

  • Control Environment: Applies knowledge and understanding of the collective effect of various factors on establishing or enhancing effectiveness, or mitigating the risks, of specific policies and procedures by: Applying knowledge of transactional flow and key transactional cycles to complete audit work; Documenting, validating and assessing the design and operating effectiveness of the clients’ internal control system; Identifying and communicating suggested improvements to client internal controls and accounting procedures in an effort to reduces risk within the client organization; Supervising and reviewing the work of audit staff
  ... etc for each subheading. But we need to keep content but not overly verbose? We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep each bullet's content. Could break each subheading into separate
  • items. We have many subheadings: Control Environment, Gaap, SEC And PCAOB, Gaas, Methodology, Research, Other duties as required, Supervisory Responsibilities. We need to include each as separate
  • with the description. We should keep the text exactly as in posting (maybe minor punctuation). Ensure we don't lose details. Let's extract each: Control Environment: Applies knowledge and understanding of the collective effect of various factors on establishing or enhancing effectiveness, or mitigating the risks, of specific policies and procedures by: Applying knowledge of transactional flow and key transactional cycles to complete audit work Documenting, validating and assessing the design and operating effectiveness of the clients’ internal control system Identifying and communicating suggested improvements to client internal controls and accounting procedures in an effort to reduces risk within the client organization Supervising and reviewing the work of audit staff Gaap Applies knowledge and understanding of governing principles; applying these principles to client transactions; and documenting and communicating an understanding and application of these principles by: Communicating financial statement disclosure requirements to clients Drafting complex sets of financial statements with disclosures Recognizing and applying new pronouncements to client situations Identifying, analyzing and discussing alternative generally accepted accounting principles with the Manager, Senior Manager and engagement partner and the client, as needed Identifying complex accounting issues and brings them to the attention of superiors for resolution Coaching less experienced team members in new areas SEC And PCAOB Applies knowledge and understanding of SEC regulations and PCAOB guidelines, and documents and communicates the application of these principles by: Reading and reviewing clients’ SEC filings, ensuring accuracy and completeness, and also ensuring that all financial information is documented in the workpapers and through appropriate testing Preparing required communications to the Client and the Audit Committee Planning and executing Section 404 internal control audits including obtaining an understanding of the control environment, designing test plans, evaluating deficiencies and assessing the overall financial reporting control environment Gaas Applies knowledge and understanding of professional standards; application of the principles contained in professional standards; and the ability to document and communicate an understanding and application of professional standards on an engagement by: Formulating and communicating the audit plan Applying GAAS to a variety of complex issues and consults others as appropriate Employing audit skepticism and determining when to reduce or expand testing Utilizing BDO audit manuals as appropriate for the situation Documenting deviations from BDO policy, with approval Methodology Applies knowledge and application of BDO standards to guide effective and efficient delivery of quality services and products by: Coordinating the day-to-day conduct of the audit plan by ensuring the field work is executed and completed as planned, in accordance with timetable, with Firm’s policies and procedures and within budget Applying BDO audit approach and methodologies, including tools and technology, to execute the audit Identifying and proposing outcomes to critical issues Research Applies methodology used to seek or maintain information from authoritative sources and to draw conclusions regarding a target issue based on the information by: Utilizing of internal and external research tools and selecting methodology for routine research requests Researching complex areas of accounting, forming an initial opinion on the correct treatment independently and considering and documenting the impact on the client and audit engagement Documenting and organizing complicated findings in a usable format, based on information obtained from Accounting Research Manager, BDO Assurance Manual, Yahoo Finance, etc. Assisting the engagement manager with gathering appropriate information about the business and information system, including the accounting system, to form an adequate basis for the preparation of the audit strategy Developing the draft Audit Engagement Planning Memorandum, audit programs and budgets Collaborating with the engagement manager to establish the responsibilities of individual audit staff for specific areas of audit work Other duties as required Supervisory Responsibilities Provides verbal and written performance feedback to Audit Associates Supervises the work assignments of Audit Associates within assigned engagement team We need to keep each as separate
  • . For "Other duties as required" it's just that phrase. Now Requirements/Education etc. Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or Statistics, required OR Bachelor’s degree in other focus area and CPA certification, required Master’s degree in Accountancy, preferred Experience Two (2) or more years of prior relevant audit experience and/or public accounting, private industry accounting or consulting/professional services experience, required Prior basic supervisory experience, preferred License/Certifications Eligible to sit for the CPA exams upon starting employment, required and actively pursuing completion of the exams, required CPA, preferred Software Proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite, preferred Experience with assurance applications and research tools, preferred Language N/A Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities Solid understanding and experience planning and coordinating the stages to perform an audit of a basic public and/or private company Knowledge of internal accounting controls and professional standards and regulations (GAAP, GAAS, Sarbanes-Oxley, etc). Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to adapt style and messaging to effectively communicate with professionals at all levels both within the client organization and the firm Ability to successfully multi-task while working independently and within a group environment Superior analytical and diagnostic skills and ability to break down complex issues and implementing appropriate resolutions Ability to work in a demanding, deadline driven environment with a focus on details and accuracy Solid project management skills We need to preserve all. Language N/A: we should not include filler like "N/A". According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Language N/A, it's filler; we should omit that line. So we can drop Language line. Now we need to decide sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We have Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements. Could combine but we need to follow instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't say we must use all; we can choose which to include. We need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can put education/experience/licenses under Requirements, and skills/knowledge under Skills. Qualifications could be omitted or used for certifications. But we have many items; better to split: Requirements: Education, Experience, License/Certifications, Software Proficiency. Skills: Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities (the list). Qualifications maybe not needed. But we have "Master’s degree in Accountancy, preferred" under Education Qualifications. That's part of education. Thus we can have:
