Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Auditing field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Auditing majors need many skills, but most especially Critical Thinking. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Auditing majors need more than the average amount of Mathematics, Operations Analysis, Systems Analysis, Management of Personnel Resources, Systems Evaluation, Learning Strategies, Monitoring, Critical Thinking, Instructing, Judgment and Decision Making, Complex Problem Solving, Time Management, Writing, Active Listening, Negotiation, Speaking, Reading Comprehension, Active Learning, Coordination, Persuasion, Social Perceptiveness, Service Orientation, Programming, Management of Financial Resources, Management of Material Resources, Quality Control Analysis, Technology Design, Operation Monitoring, Science, Operation and Control, Troubleshooting, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Auditing majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Mathematics is very distinctive for majors, but the Critical Thinking, Reading Comprehension, Active Listening, Speaking, Writing, Judgment and Decision Making, Mathematics, Monitoring, Complex Problem Solving, Active Learning, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Time Management, Coordination, Social Perceptiveness, Management of Personnel Resources, Learning Strategies, Instructing, Persuasion, Service Orientation, Negotiation, Operations Analysis, Management of Financial Resources, Quality Control Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Management of Material Resources, Programming, Science, Technology Design, Operation and Control, Troubleshooting, Equipment Selection, Installation, Equipment Maintenance, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
