About this interview

How to prepare

- Select examples that show your own decisions across reporting, control, assurance or advisory work.

- Practise explaining a complex accounting judgement to someone without a finance background.
- Connect your continuing development activities to changes in the quality of your work.
Common mistakes
- Reciting standards without applying them to the facts of the example.
- Describing what the team did while leaving your own responsibility unclear.
