So for you, Not only do you need to be detail-oriented, with the ability to analyse large volumes of information, but you must also maintain a high level of integrity to make sure the company adheres to all regulatory rules.

This is like one of the implied accounting commandment.

2. You must be a tech savvy person who is not resistant to change
