We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present with content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real specific content. We need to parse the job description. Key sections: - Job Summary / Job Description: The description paragraphs about responsibilities. Could be under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to appropriate headings. We have: - Job Summary / Job Description: description of role: preparing third-party attestation reports, etc. That's responsibilities. - Job Duties: includes Control Environment, GAAS, Other, Methodology, Research, Other duties as required, Supervisory Responsibilities. That's duties. - Education Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: includes Education, Experience, License/Certifications, Software Proficiency, Language, Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. - About Us: description of company. - Benefits: mention of ESOP, Total Rewards, etc. Also mention "Individual salaries that are offered..." includes salary ranges per location. That's Pay. - No explicit Schedule. - No explicit Benefits besides ESOP and Total Rewards mention. There's "Learn more about our benefits: BDO Total Rewards encompass more than traditional benefits." So we have benefits content. Thus we can create sections:

Responsibilities

with paragraphs summarizing job summary and duties? Might split: Responsibilities (job summary) and Duties (detailed duties). But we can combine. Better: Use headings as per instruction: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. - About the role: could be the job summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: could be the job duties list. - Requirements: could be education, experience, certifications. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements. But we can combine. - Skills: could be knowledge, skills & abilities. - Benefits: ESOP, Total Rewards. - Pay: salary ranges. - Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not create empty sections. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all details from the posting. Thus we need to embed the detailed bullet points etc. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need to decide what constitutes a list. Many sentences are prose; we can keep as

    . For lists like "Control Environment: ..." we could treat as list items? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists. The job duties section includes multiple bullet-like paragraphs each starting with a bold heading? Actually the text: "Control Environment: Applies knowledge..." then "GAAS Applies knowledge..." then "Other Applies knowledge..." then "Methodology Applies knowledge..." then "Research Applies methodology..." then "Other duties as required" then "Supervisory Responsibilities Provides verbal..." etc. These are not bullet list but could be considered list of duties. We could wrap each duty as
    • . Similarly for requirements: Education, Experience, License/Certifications, Software Proficiency, Language, Other Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. We need to preserve all substantive information: So we need to include the text exactly as given (maybe minor formatting). We cannot invent or summarize away detail. So we need to copy the text. Thus we can produce:

      About the role

TPA individuals specialize in these specific areas to understand the entire technology risk umbrella rather than maintaining overall knowledge in Information Technology General Control (ITGC) audit or IT audit.

      Then responsibilities: maybe we can list duties as
      • ... each duty paragraph. We need to include all duty paragraphs exactly as they appear. Let's extract duty paragraphs from the text: From "Job Duties" section: "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: Identifying and considering all applicable policies, laws, rules, and regulations of the firm, regulators, or other authoritative bodies as part of engagement team Making constructive suggestions to improve client internal controls and accounting procedures Documenting and validating the operating effectiveness of the clients’ internal control system Supervising and reviewing the work of staff Documenting business and IT processes and controls and tests key controls for service organizations in a variety of industries Identifying and prioritizing key risks and assesses their impact and likeliness of occurrence.

California Range: $85,000 - $125,000 Colorado Range: $78,000 - $85,000 Illinois Range: $79,000 - $90,000 Massachusetts Range: $85,000 - $95,000 NYC/Long Island/Westchester Range: $85,000 - $95,000" That's Pay. Then "About Us" paragraph: "At BDO, how we show up matters.

We must remove EEO etc. So we cut after benefits. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. We'll structure:
