Sample interview questions
I would maintain a detailed close calendar, define ownership for each task, complete reconciliations and journal entries using standardized checklists, and perform a variance review before final close. I would escalate exceptions early, document judgments, and conduct a post-close review to identify recurring improvements.
I would first identify differences in recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements. I would prepare a documented reconciliation with support for each adjustment, validate the entries with relevant stakeholders, and retain clear audit evidence for both local and group reporting.
I would establish service-level expectations, a reporting cadence, close deliverables, and clear quality standards. I would review their work against reconciliations and supporting documentation, track exceptions and turnaround times, and hold regular reviews to resolve issues and improve the process.
I would maintain an obligation calendar, understand the applicable local rules and submission deadlines, and implement review controls for invoice completeness and tax treatment. I would monitor portal activity regularly, resolve discrepancies promptly, and preserve documentation supporting each filing.
I would look for repetitive manual reconciliations, journal-entry preparation, invoice validation, or reporting steps that can be standardized through ERP workflows, templates, or data integrations. I would quantify the control and efficiency benefits, test the solution thoroughly, and monitor results after implementation.
