A staff auditor on your team keeps turning in workpapers that do not support their conclusions. How do you handle it?

About the work

You will lead audit teams on major corporate audits. Walk me through how you plan an audit from risk assessment to fieldwork.

How do you use process flows and mapping to find control weaknesses in a business process?

What they are checking: Whether they can walk a process end to end and see where errors or fraud could slip through unnoticed.

In a health insurer, which risks would you expect to see on the audit plan that a manufacturing company would not have?

What they are checking: Whether they understand claims payment, member data privacy and regulatory exposure in managed care.

How do you write an audit finding so a busy executive reads it and acts on it?

What they are checking: Clear report writing that states condition, cause, effect and a fix in plain terms.
