People who work in the Regulation pathway will typically possess a body of technical knowledge about an industry, the environment or technology. This --coupled with a knowledge of related laws, rules and regulatory systems-- permit regulators to protect our health, safety and environment as well as ensure the integrity of our financial, transportation and public utility industries. The work may include physical inspections, audits, investigations and the reports, citations, hearings and courtroom trials required to enforce a myriad of regulatory requirements.
