We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes a job summary, description, key accountabilities, education/experience/skill requirements, key metrics, job family, company, location, values statement, internal applicant note, EEO, accommodation. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those sections. We need sections like About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (key accountabilities), Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (maybe certifications?), Skills (specific skills). But we must not create sections with filler. We need to decide which sections have substantive content. We have: - Job Summary: "Plans, directs, and completes complex assurance and advisory/consulting audits..." That's about the role. - Job Description Key Accountabilities: list of duties. - Education, Experience, & Skill Requirements: includes degree, years, certifications, preferred experience, skills. - Key Metrics: list of KPI contributions. - Job Family, Company, Locations: maybe not needed as heading. - Values statement: maybe not needed. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use About the role for job summary. Responsibilities for key accountabilities. Requirements for education/experience. Qualifications maybe for certifications? But we could combine with Requirements. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering education/experience/skill), Skills (maybe advanced skills). But we have skill details in the Requirements section. Could split: Requirements for education/experience, Skills for specific skill sets. Qualifications maybe for certifications. But we need to ensure each section has real content. Let's extract: Education, Experience, & Skill Requirements: - Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or other related business discipline. - Minimum 8+ years of audit or other relevant experience. - Certification such as CPA, CIA, CISA, CCSA, CIDA, or CFE preferred. - Previous experience in electric power generation, electric retail or energy trading businesses preferred. - Advanced risk identification and prioritization skills... - Ability to be assigned a wide array of audit engagement topics... - Ability to establish and maintain relationships... - Exceptional skills pertaining to communication... - Ability to lead meetings... - Thorough understanding of Internal Audit methodology... - Understanding of general fraud concepts... - Knowledge of accounting principles, financial reporting concepts, and information technology risks. That's a mix of requirements and skills. We could make: - About the role (job summary) - Responsibilities (key accountabilities) - Requirements (education + years + experience + certifications) - Skills (advanced risk identification, communication, leadership, methodology, fraud, accounting/IT knowledge) Qualifications maybe not needed if we split. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have real content. We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus output HTML with sections:

and lists to

  • . Ensure we don't lose any detail. Let's extract the job summary text exactly: "Plans, directs, and completes complex assurance and advisory/consulting audits of business processes or units, with particular focus on financial, operational, and compliance risks. Adheres to department audit methodology and utilizes technology-based audit techniques to perform required duties where appropriate. Leverages data analytics tools and techniques on traditional and continuous audits.

Partners with management to develop meaningful risk-mitigating action plans for issues identified. Performs follow-up audit procedures on management actions resulting from assigned audits. Assists with the risk assessment and audit plan development process." That's the job summary. Now Responsibilities: The "Key Accountabilities" list. Let's extract each bullet: - Responsible for ownership of all audit lifecycle phases for the assigned Internal Audit risk-based audit and advisory engagements, including on-time completion of projects, the project’s management and documentation within the audit project management system, and the project’s adherence to Internal Audit methodology and quality assurance requirements. - Plans the assurance or advisory audit, including the development of the audit objectives, scope, time-line, and team assignments when applicable. - Conduct interviews to gain an understanding of the processes/activities being audited and communicate the objectives/scope to the audit customer. - Audits assigned to this role frequently must be developed from scratch without prior audit programs to use as reference and must be designed by the auditor. - Identify and assess the risks associated with the area under audit. - Identify and evaluate the controls designed to mitigate the identified risks. - Determine testing strategy appropriate for risks and controls identified, considering sampling methodology and opportunities to leverage data analytics. - Test the controls for operational effectiveness/compliance and provide recommendations to address identified control gaps. - Summarize issues identified and prepare the audit report. - Collaborate with audit customers to advise valuable risk-mitigating control enhancement recommendations and process improvement considerations through assurance, advisory, and management request projects. - Continuous updates to key audit stakeholders, including updates up through EVP. - Pro-actively monitors open issue follow-up activities including remediation testing and issue close-out within the audit project management system. - Assists with the annual risk assessment and audit plan development process via analysis of relevant data, participation in Enterprise Risk Management workshops, socialization of emerging risks with key stakeholders, and analysis of prior audit findings. - Suggests audit plan adjustments as applicable. - Participation in, and ownership of, recurrent stakeholder discussions, including discussions with executives throughout the business. - Often sought out by leaders in the business to perform management requests or join task forces because of their expertise.

  • . Now Requirements: Education, Experience, & Skill Requirements but we will split some into Skills. Let's decide Requirements includes: Bachelor’s degree, Minimum 8+ years experience, Certification such as CPA, CIA, CISA, CCSA, CIDA, or CFE preferred, Previous experience in electric power generation, electric retail or energy trading businesses preferred. We'll keep those as list items. Now Skills: The rest: Advanced risk identification and prioritization skills, including the ability to connect the broader implications of risks to their potential impact to organizational objectives.

Ability to establish and maintain relationships with key business partners, often at the executive level. Exceptional skills pertaining to communication, including interviewing audit stakeholders, preparing and presenting audit plans, results, and reports, negotiating and collaborating on recommendations and management action plans, etc. Ability to lead meetings and represent Internal Audit leadership as needed. Thorough understanding of Internal Audit methodology and the Institute of Internal Auditors’ Global Internal Audit Standards. Ability to adhere to all requirements throughout the audit lifecycle, including planning, fieldwork, reporting, and follow-up, and can train other auditors on Internal Audit methodology procedures as needed. ▪Understanding of general fraud concepts and the ability to analyze business processes for fraud risks. Knowledge of accounting principles, financial reporting concepts, and information technology risks. We need to preserve the bullet points with o etc. Might need to convert to list items. We need to be careful to preserve the exact wording, but we can adjust formatting. Let's extract each skill item: - Advanced risk identification and prioritization skills, including the ability to connect the broader implications of risks to their potential impact to organizational objectives. - Ability to be assigned a wide array of audit engagement topics and risk areas, while also demonstrating specialized business knowledge and/or functional expertise, such as: - Robust knowledge of processes, governance, and risk profiles of relevant business segments (e.g., Generation, Retail, etc) - Advanced functional expertise and/or skills and the ability to enhance auditing techniques (e.g., data analytics tools and techniques) - Generally consulted by other auditors or stakeholders in the business for their input, guidance, or direction based on this expertise. - Ability to establish and maintain relationships with key business partners, often at the executive level. - Exceptional skills pertaining to communication, including interviewing audit stakeholders, preparing and presenting audit plans, results, and reports, negotiating and collaborating on recommendations and management action plans, etc. - Ability to lead meetings and represent Internal Audit leadership as needed. - Thorough understanding of Internal Audit methodology and the Institute of Internal Auditors’ Global Internal Audit Standards. - Ability to adhere to all requirements throughout the audit lifecycle, including planning, fieldwork, reporting, and follow-up, and can train other auditors on Internal Audit methodology procedures as needed. - Understanding of general fraud concepts and the ability to analyze business processes for fraud risks. - Knowledge of accounting principles, financial reporting concepts, and information technology risks. We need to keep the dash bullet for fraud (▪). We'll just treat as a bullet. Now we need to output HTML fragment only. Let's construct:
