About the role
This interview covers the controls that protect day-to-day banking operations from loss, error and misconduct. The panel is assessing whether you can spot meaningful patterns, investigate fairly, improve weak processes and help operational leaders take responsibility for sustained control performance.
How to prepare
- Map common controls around cash, user access, reconciliations, approvals and dormant accounts.
- Prepare an investigation example that separates the exception, its root cause and its wider exposure.
- Think through how you would use exception data to target branch reviews and thematic testing.
- Prepare to explain how you validate a fix instead of accepting a management update at face value.
- Review how you protect evidence and confidentiality when possible misconduct is involved.
Common mistakes
- Treating a cleared exception as proof that the control weakness has been fixed.
- Blaming frontline staff before testing process design, access and supervision.
- Reporting long lists of issues without ranking their exposure or identifying recurring themes.
