The AAO determined that the described duties were more aligned with those of a bookkeeper or accounting clerk, which do not normally require a bachelor's degree. The duties were found to be generic and not sufficiently complex to necessitate the theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge associated with a specialty occupation.
