About the role
This interview examines how you audit the technology controls that support operations and financial reporting. The panel expects precise testing, healthy scepticism about system-generated evidence and an ability to connect technical gaps to business risk.
How to prepare
- Review access management, change management, backup, job processing and incident controls.
- Prepare to explain how you establish the completeness and accuracy of a system-generated population.
- Think through testing for joiners, movers, leavers and privileged users.
- Choose an example where you disagreed with a system owner and resolved the evidence gap.
- Practise describing a technology risk without relying on acronyms.
Common mistakes
- Accepting screenshots or user lists without checking their source and completeness.
- Describing a technical weakness without a plausible risk scenario.
- Confusing a compensating control with an informal workaround.
- Giving every access issue the same severity.
