In as much as I don't think a candidate who can answer all the questions correctly is the best I agree that preparing for interview shows good attitude. I had the rare opportunity of interviewing some accountants and one of them literally had one recurring answer to most of my basic accounting related questions, "I am a fast learner I can learn"...that response can be acceptable from a fresher but for someone with years of experience I was amazed!

I want to add that one may not know everything but be very good at the little you know and be confident to talk about it.

It could be that little thing that will bring you breakthrough in career.


Interview inform of examination may not give you the best person for the job most times...

Right attitude and character should be the type of test should in case you truly need the best candidate provided the person have knowledge or familiar with job descriptions.

Every other things stated as last examination questions here can be learned.

Cheers!

I feel embarrassed anytime I sit in an interview and some candidates come ill prepared. I repeat: Treat every interview as a final exam. Read the job description to understand what the employer is looking for. Anticipate the likely questions that may arise from the JD or even your CV. Prepare possible answers to them and practice until you're very conversant with them.

It's not often you get opportunity for a job interview and hence you need to invest your all if you so happen to have one. When you don't prepare very well, your responses to the questions will expose you. It can be that embarrassing. For example, someone is coming for an accounts officer role but does not even know then statutory obligations arising from payroll. That's bad! And for me the moment you fail that question, I switch off and whatever you say is COS 90.

Let me share these with anyone going for any junior or mid-senior or senior accounting interview this week. They are standard questions that often arise in most accounting interviews:

1. Describe the procedure you will follow in closing the books at the end of the month or year "month-end closing procedures"
2. Walk me through the legal obligations arising from the preparation of payroll. (SSNIT Tier 1& 2 and provident fund, PAYE, date of filing, etc).
3. How would you ensure efficient accounts payable when you are hired?
4. You recorded 1101 sales as 1110. How will you correct this? (correction of errors)
5. Walk me through the 3 main financial statements and the relationship between them?
6. What procedures would you implement to safeguard cash? "Internal control procedures"
7. How will expired goods written off affect the financial statements?
8. Describe your experience with budget preparation and monitoring?
9. We have had problems with debt collection? What procedures do you intend to introduce to safeguard sales and collections?
10. There is currently no filing system in the company. As an accounts officer how do you intend maintaining accurate filing system whiles maintaining confidentiality over critical documents?

The above may not be exhaustive but at least knowing them would go a long way to helping you ace that accounting interview.

If you have an upcoming job interview, let's talk. I want to help you secure that job.

Please what is the best way to answer question concerning salary expectation?
Thanks

Rubyjade:
Give a range for example say I am looking at 150,000-200,000 be quick to state that you are open for negotiation. Make sure you state a figure above what they want to offer and if they offer your expectations ask if they have pension benefits, 13th month, leave allowance & HMO

Insights as I celebrate my 10 year anniversary at my job:
1. Change is good. I feel invigorated and proud of the impact my new job had on me—and the impact of me on my new workplace.
2. Patience is a virtue.
3. Power of the Pause continues to be the number one leadership trait that leads to success.
4. Practicing 2 & 3 above will lead to great change.
5. Fear is the #1 cause of politicking.
6. Writing is revision. If you don’t want redlines, don’t ask this former English and MBA professor and lawyer to review your work.
7. Listening is a skill that needs continuous practice.
8. Leadership and management are a key to growth and culture.
9. Communication can always be improved.
Never be offended when someone asks for more clarity.
10. Debate, healthy discourse and open discussions are essential to success and are fun
