This is varied and moderately difficult bookkeeping and clerical work. Work involves the application of elementary bookkeeping principles in the keeping of specialized accounts where transactions recorded are variable, together with the performance of related office tasks of an advanced nature. Employees follow standard procedures which are prescribed by departmental accounting regulations, but judgment is required in interpreting such requirements in terms of day to day transaction recording and preparation of the less complex financial reports. Employees are given specific instructions when starting work, but, as routines and departmental policy and regulations are learned, employees work with only general supervision. Work is reviewed through continuing or periodic audits, checks both on mathematical and technical accuracy, and by study of report submitted by employees.
