I’m interviewing for an accounting role, and they’ve asked for a writing sample… As an auditor, any accounting memos I have written will have confidential client information, and these memos have gone through levels of review/edits, so aren’t necessarily my own work anyways. What do you suggest i provide?

I’ve submitted a memo from work that underwent reviews. As long as your the primary author, I don’t think it’s unethical to submit a work product that was reviewed by others. It’s akin to submitting a paper from college as a written sample that was reviewed by a professor. I just redacted the clients name throughout before submitting it.
