Here are the short answer questions I was told to answer at the beginning of my interview:
1. You are testing the balance of a liability account and you discover that a journal entry is not supported. How would you write this audit finding?
2. Bob is a controller and has the ability to do the following: Create/modify vendors, approve invoices, create and approve journal entries. What are the segregation of duties issues here?
3. How would you test revenue was recorded in the correct period? What is this type of test called?
Questions I was asked from the random list of accounting concepts the manager had on her desk:
1. What is the difference between a process and a control?
2. What is the journal entry for an insurance payment?
3. What are some testing procedures you would use to test for unrecorded liabilities?
