So, there were two people interviewing me. One of them hit me with technical questions, and the other one asked practical/situational questions based on different scenarios. I got asked about 4 technical questions covering materiality, substantive procedures for revenue and payroll, and significant risk on the income statement.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you explain the difference between overall materiality and performance materiality?

So the whole interview process was good and I told them upfront that I can only join after my 60-day notice period. The HR initially said that's fine. But when I got the offer letter, the joining date wasn't what we discussed. And then the HR just withdrew the offer without explaining why. They just said it was a communication issue and they can't change the joining date. It's crazy how a company can do this to someone who was ready to accept and then end up with no offer because of their own mess.

The interview process consists of an initial recruiter call, followed by a technical screen. The technical screen involves audit-based questions, particularly focusing on the planning phase, such as the necessary steps and information required. This interview is recorded because the interviewer is from HR. The recording is then reviewed to assess your understanding of audit principles.

Behavioral Technical

I had two interviews and a personality test. They asked knowledge-based questions and wanted to learn about my past work and how I'd handle job-specific scenarios. After that, I got an offer and my contract soon after signing. We had plenty of time to ask questions about the firm and the role. The interviews included folks from talent acquisition and direct managers.

  • Describe how you would handle a scenario based on the job requirements.
