Accountant - Fixed Assets

for introductory paragraphs and general text. Use

for section headers (e.g., Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). Use

• for list items (duties, requirements, qualifications, skills). No CSS classes, no inline styles, no
  s, no
  tags. Preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. If text has no clear sections, just wrap paragraphs in

  tags. Return ONLY the HTML. No markdown fences, no explanation, no preamble. We have raw input that already includes some HTML tags (

  , ,

  , etc). We need to transform to meet rules: Use

  for section headers. The original has

  Key Responsibilities:

  etc. We need to change those to

  Key Responsibilities:

  . Also other sections: Requirements, Post location, Terms of Appointment, How to apply, etc. Also there are some
  with list items; we need to keep them as
  • . Ensure no stray inside
  • maybe we keep? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. However we must change tags to meet required semantic HTML. Changing

    Key Responsibilities:

    to

    Key Responsibilities:

    is altering tags but preserving text content. That's allowed because we need to use

    for section headers. The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Changing tags is not adding/removing content, just changing markup. Should be okay. We must also remove any stray formatting like duplicate

    with just a header
    • Fixed Assets Management:
    etc. Those are present as separate
    containing a
    • with strong header. We need to preserve content word-for-word, but we can restructure? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. That suggests we cannot remove those
    • elements that just contain the header. However we could keep them as is; they are list items with strong text. That's okay. But we also have subsequent
      with actual duties. We need to keep them as
      • . The style attribute is not allowed (no CSS classes, no inline styles). So we must remove the style attribute. That's altering content (removing attribute). Is that allowed? The rule says no CSS classes, no inline styles. So we must strip style attributes. That's removing inline style, which is altering markup but not content. Likely acceptable. Also there are duplicate skills lines etc. We must preserve content word-for-word, but we can remove duplicate lines? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Duplicate text should be kept? However earlier instruction in first part said remove duplicate text (if the title appears multiple times, keep it once). That was for job listing editor. But now the task is to format as clean semantic HTML, preserving ALL original content word-for-word. There's a conflict. The latest instruction says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. So we must keep duplicates. However there is a duplicate line: "Strong computer skills, with solid proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel" appears twice in requirements. We must keep both. We also need to convert tags inside paragraphs maybe keep them? The rule doesn't forbid . It only says use

        for introductory paragraphs and general text,

        for section headers,

        • for list items. It doesn't forbid other tags like or . So we can keep them. We need to ensure no
          , no
          , no CSS classes, no inline styles. We need to output only HTML. Let's process the input. Original:

          We need to convert section headers to

          . Identify headers: - Key Responsibilities: - Requirements - Post location - Terms of Appointment - How to apply: - Possibly also "How to apply:" includes strong. Also there is maybe "Post location" line includes strong then colon and text. Should we treat the whole line as header? The rule: Use

          for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). So "Post location" maybe not a standard header but we can still treat as

          . The instruction: Use

          for section headers (e.g. Responsibilities, Qualifications, Requirements, Education, Experience, Skills, How to Apply, Key Duties, About the Role). It says e.g., not limited to. So we can apply to any header-like strong text. Thus we will replace

          Key Responsibilities:

          with

          Key Responsibilities:

          Similarly

          Requirements

          ->

          Requirements

          Post location: The position will be based in Nairobi, Kenya

          This is a paragraph with strong then colon and text. Should we keep as

          with Post location: ...? The rule says use

          for section headers. This is a header-like line. Could convert to

          Post location:

          and then the sentence after? But the original includes the sentence after colon in same paragraph. If we convert entire

          to

          , we would lose the sentence "The position will be based in Nairobi, Kenya". We need to preserve content. So we could keep as

          Post location: The position will be based in Nairobi, Kenya

          . That's okay; it's not a section header but a label. The rule says use

          for section headers; not mandatory to convert all strong lines. We'll keep as

          . Similarly

          Terms of Appointment

          -> maybe convert to

          Terms of Appointment

          and then following paragraph as

          .

          How to apply: Applicants should ...

          Could convert to

          How to apply:

          and then the rest as

          . But the original includes the strong and then the rest of sentence. We'll need to split. However preserving content word-for-word: we cannot remove the strong tag or rephrase. If we change to

          How to apply:

          we lose the strong tag and the following text remains same? Actually we would move the rest to a

          . That changes structure but content remains same words. The strong tag is removed; is that allowed? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Removing the tag is removing markup, not content. The content words remain. Likely acceptable as we are adjusting markup to meet semantic HTML. However we must ensure we don't lose any words. The original: "

          How to apply: Applicants should send a cover letter and CV expressing their interest in the position, what they can bring to the job and the names and addresses (including telephone and email) of three referees who are knowledgeable about the candidate’s professional qualifications and work experience to the Head of People and Culture through our recruitment portal by clicking on "Apply Now" on or before 26 July 2026. The position title and reference number REF: CS/2251/2026 should be clearly marked on the subject line of the cover letter.

          " If we convert to

          How to apply:

          then a

          containing the rest: "Applicants should send a cover letter and CV expressing their interest in the position, what they can bring to the job and the names and addresses (including telephone and email) of three referees who are knowledgeable about the candidate’s professional qualifications and work experience to the Head of People and Culture through our recruitment portal by clicking on "Apply Now" on or before 26 July 2026. The position title and reference number REF: CS/2251/2026 should be clearly marked on the subject line of the cover letter." We removed the non-breaking spaces and some strong tags around the period and REF. That's removing markup but preserving words. Acceptable? The rule says preserve ALL original content word-for-word — do not add, remove, summarise, or rephrase. Removing tags is not removing content words. It's ambiguous but likely okay. Similarly for "Terms of Appointment": we could convert

          Terms of Appointment

          to

          Terms of Appointment

          and then the following paragraph as

          . We also need to handle lists: there are many

          with a header
          • Fixed Assets Management:
          etc. Those are list items that just contain a header. We could keep them as
          • Fixed Assets Management:
          . That's fine. We also need to remove inline style attributes from
          . So change to
          . Also need to remove & entities? They are part of original content; we should keep them as is. They are HTML entities for &. Should we keep them? Yes preserve content word-for-word, so keep &. We also need to ensure no
          , no
          . There's none. Now produce final HTML. Let's construct: Start with first two paragraphs as
          . Then
          Key Responsibilities:
          Then we need to output the lists exactly as they appear but with
          without style. We have pattern:
          • Fixed Assets Management:
          • Reconcile ILRI’s consolidated fixed assets ledger and register at the end of each month and perform monthly checks to ensure all assets are accurately recorded in line with the Asset Policy.
          • Keep records of the Institute’s fixed assets by location, custodian, costs and net book values.
          • Coordinate the annual physical verification of assets, reconcile the results with the fixed assets ledger, and take necessary actions to maintain an accurate asset register.
          • Compute depreciation charge monthly, check its completeness and propose resultant booking journals
          • Coordinate the posting of ILRI CAPEX in regional and field offices (procured via Nairobi procurement office) with accountants, regional administration officers, procurement and stores as and when the transaction/supply is done.
          • Ensure timely updates to the asset register following asset disposals or related changes by liaising with the relevant departments.
          Then similar for Inventory Management, Capital budget monitoring and reporting, etc. Also there is a stray
          with single li for Liaise with procurement... after Capital budget monitoring and reporting. We'll treat as its own
          . Then General Insurance, Others. After that,

          Requirements

          then the
          list. Then

          Post location: The position will be based in Nairobi, Kenya

          Then

          Terms of Appointment

          Then the paragraph after. Then

          How to apply:

          Then the paragraph.
