I'm a candidate with two years of experience, so most of the interview questions were based on my CV. The key topics they asked about included:
- Differences between US GAAP and IFRS.
- Prepaid expenses and deferred income, including error-related questions about prepaid expenses.
- Fixed asset accounting and depreciation methods.
- Balance sheet reconciliations, such as which accounts need to be reconciled and how to handle unreconciled accounts.
- Accounting errors and queries scenarios which it's appropriate to raise a query with the client.
The interview was focused on practical accounting concepts and how they relate to real-world scenarios.
