Questions this interviewer is likely to ask, with a tip for each. Practise out loud: it really helps.
State your firm's name, registration number, and specific certifications (e.g., CPA, ACCA) clearly. Mention any prior experience auditing in South Sudan or with international NGOs to establish immediate credibility.
Explain your methodology for gathering sufficient audit evidence. Mention specific ISA standards you will apply and how you will document your work to ensure the financial statements are presented fairly.
Describe your process for testing internal controls, such as reviewing approval workflows and bank reconciliations. Emphasize how you identify weaknesses and how you will report them in the Management Letter.
Outline your project timeline, including when you will start fieldwork and when you will draft the reports. Show that you have a team structure that allows for quick review and finalization within the two-week window.
Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Pick a specific example where you found an error or control gap, explain how you communicated it to management, and highlight how your findings improved their financial processes.
Connect your professional interest in the non-profit sector to JRS's mission of helping refugees. Mention that you value the transparency and accountability required by donors like BMZ and TDH, and that you want to support their impact on vulnerable children.
