Hello! Those in internal audit in industry, do you still do financial audits where you pick an account balance, do random sampling and substantive analytical procedures? Or is it mostly just SOX testing?

I'm applying to a position centered around SOX and operational audits.

Thanks!

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
