Initial Screening: Often conducted by a recruiter or HR representative, this is a brief conversation to verify your qualifications (degree, certifications like CPA, relevant experience), gauge your interest in the firm, and explain the role's basics. Technical/Managerial Interviews: Usually with an audit manager or senior auditor. Expect deep dives into your understanding of auditing fundamentals (e.g., internal vs. external audit), audit software (e.g., SAP, AuditBoard, Excel proficiency), and familiarity with accounting standards (e.g., ASC 606). Behavioral/Competency Rounds: These often involve partners or senior leadership. They focus on how you handle pressure, manage client relationships, prioritize conflicting deadlines, and navigate ethical dilemmas.
