1) Case study and group presentation (about launching a new product and present to the board of directors about the pros & cons of the products and CSR)
2) Essay writing (one of the question is the person that I admired)
3) 2 to 1 interview by the audit managers
(introduce yourself, basic question based on your CV, many behavioral question such as what will you do when you been asked to do some unethical stuff, 2 accounting entries question)
The interviewer began by explaining the team, its responsibilities, the projects they were working on, and the overall team culture. They also briefly described what they were looking for in a candidate and what it would be like to work on the team. Most of the interview focused on behavioral questions rather than technical ones, with follow-up questions to better understand my past experiences and decision-making process.
