Behavioral Technical Case

The interview process had two rounds. The first round included the Head of Internal Audit and an HR representative. After a brief company introduction, my professional background was discussed in detail, focusing on my experience in risk-based audit planning, process analysis, and handling regulatory requirements. This was followed by technical questions about internal control systems, SOX compliance, and data analytics. Practical case studies were also discussed. The second round focused more on stakeholder management, communication with management, and my leadership/coaching experience.
