• Using relevant information and individual judgment to determine whether events or processes comply with laws, regulations, or standards.
• Assessing the value, importance, or quality of things or people.

Inspectors should be great at:

• Estimating sizes, distances, and quantities; or determining time, costs, resources, or materials needed to perform a work activity.
• Observing, receiving, and otherwise obtaining information from all relevant sources.
• Identifying information by categorizing, estimating, recognizing differences or similarities, and detecting changes in circumstances or events.
• Inspecting equipment, structures, or materials to identify the cause of errors or other problems or defects.

• Reading source documents such as canceled checks, sales reports, or bills, and entering data in specific data fields or onto tapes or disks for subsequent entry, using keyboards or scanners.
• Compiling, sorting, and verifying the accuracy of data before it is entered.
• Comparing data with source documents, or reentering data in verification format for detecting errors.
• Storing completed documents in appropriate locations.
• Locating and correcting data entry errors, or reporting them to supervisors.
• Maintaining logs of activities and completed working.
