10,229 auditor intern interview questions shared by candidates

Here are the short answer questions I was told to answer at the beginning of my interview: 1. You are testing the balance of a liability account and you discover that a journal entry is not supported. How would you write this audit finding? 2. Bob is a controller and has the ability to do the following: Create/modify vendors, approve invoices, create and approve journal entries. What are the segregation of duties issues here? 3. How would you test revenue was recorded in the correct period? What is this type of test called? Questions I was asked from the random list of accounting concepts the manager had on her desk: 1. What is the difference between a process and a control? 2. What is the journal entry for an insurance payment? 3. What are some testing procedures you would use to test for unrecorded liabilities?

The questions were both on technical procedures and also competence based. As this was an audit role, the importance of being able to handle push backs and conflicts was emphasized upon, and the ability to work under pressure. the team was very friendly and at no point did the process make me uncomfortable

There was only one interview question and the conversation quickly spiraled down. I have never had an interview experience like this - even with companies that weren't very interested, the discussion was at least pleasant. This seemed like an attack. For an organization coming off of significant issues around internal controls over financial reporting I was expecting a little less arrogance - obviously, its not the organization's fault that the interviewers had issues.
