Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was prepared for Valuations and Financial Modelling questions but the Accounting questions caught me off guard. Was even suggested by the recent hires to prepare well on the Relative Valuations which I did, but still not even one question was asked about finance, the whole interview revolved around Accounting, and 2 questions of the "impact on FS", which I found to be a difficult scenario, since I knew the basic stuff like what would be the impact of Purchase of Machinery/Debtors written off. But share buyback/bonus issue was a type of question which witnessed for the first time.
