Financial Auditor Question:

Competency questions come up in interviews for all kinds of graduate roles, but they're particularly important to positions in audit. This is because your interviewers probably won't expect you to have a detailed understanding of the audit process so instead will be looking for a number of core competencies to show you have the potential to do well in the job.

The skills interviewers will look for include teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, adaptability and judgement. Make sure you have examples of times when you demonstrated these competencies to hand, and practise answering competency questions using the STAR method, outlining the Situation, Task, Action and Result.
