PwC Senior Audit Associate Interview Questions, Process, and Tips for Experienced

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 1. Make sure that you have detailed knowledge of what you have written on your CV based on your working experience because 70-80% of the interview would be based on your CV itself and interviewer would expect to get appropriate answers for these question.

2. Never hesitate to say 'Sorry. I am not sure on this' - if you are unsure of the answer. Interviewers would be happy to hear that instead of incorrect/manipulated answers. Always remember that interviewers are very knowledgeable and experienced professionals. Respond only when you are 100% sure. Its not necessary that you know all the answers, neither that is expected from any candidate. So, its totally fine and acceptable.

3. Listen carefully to the questions and take your time to respond to the same. Try to give as precise answer as possible and don't include irrelevant part (delivering unnecessary stuff would not help you rather it may work as a negative point).

4. You can drive the interview/ decide the questions yourself which you want the interviewer to ask from you.
Eg. - You are supposed to explain testing of revenue. So while explaining the same, you can use some specific terms on which you have good knowledge. See below for illustration:

(a) If you have knowledge on ASC 606, you can highlight this standard by saying that we would test whether entity has recognized the revenue in accordance with ASC 606.
(b) If you have knowledge on types of sampling, you can focus on it by saying that we will decide around what type of sampling would be most appropriate in a particular situation.
(c) You can also highlight on how COVID has impacted auditing procedures.
