DEFINITION

SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives immediate (I) or general (II) supervision from an administrative supervisor or manager. Exercises no supervision of staff.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
Accounting Assistant I: This is the entry-level class in the Accounting Assistant series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents with general administrative experience perform a variety of recordkeeping, reconciliation, and accounting support activities. As knowledge and experience are gained, the work becomes broader in scope, and assignments are more varied and are performed under more general supervision. Incumbents at this level perform many of the duties required of incumbents at the journey level, but are not expected to function at the same skill level, and assigned tasks are usually routine and performed according to established techniques, procedures, processes, or standards. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Since this class is often used as a training class, employees may have only limited or no directly related work experience.
Accounting Assistant II: This is the journey-level class in the Accounting Assistant series. Incumbents perform the full range of technical work in recordkeeping, reconciliation, and accounting support activities. Incumbents at this level are distinguished from the entry level by performing the full range of duties as assigned, working independently on regular assignments, and exercising judgment in applying guidelines, processes, policies, and procedures when performing tasks and making decisions. Incumbents at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. This class is distinguished from the Accounting Technician in that the latter is responsible for more complex and higher-level technical accounting work, and exercises a higher level of discretion and independent judgment.
Positions at the II-level are normally filled by advancement from the I-level after completion of additional coursework and two years of experience; progression to the II-level is automatic unless there is documented non-satisfactory work performance. When filled from the outside, the employee is required to have at least two years of prior related experience that allows the employee to meet the qualification standards for the II-level.
