I’ve got a second round interview for a public company for internal audit tomorrow with a director! Anyone have any good ideas for what some good questions would be for a director?

Congrats! What dictates the audit plan- audit committee, known errors, process improvements? Is this role focused primarily on financials or operations? General questions regarding project length, team sizes, etc...

1. What are your goals for the group?
2. Why do you like working at xyz?
3. What issues have you identified in the past regarding controls or people? How can I help?
4. What is the growth potential for this position?
5. How is the relationship between IA, EA, and management? Do then groups agree on risks and controls?

What percentage of time is spent on SOX vs other operational audits?
Can you describe your management style?
How is IA perceived within the organization? How’s IA’s relationship with executive management?

I was interviewed at EY UK on 7th Sep. It was quite smooth. Since then I haven't heard anything back from them though interviewer claimed SLA to get back with outcome of interview is 48 hours. On portal it still says I'm in hiring team phase. It was level 1 interview.

Should I take this delay as rejection?

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him.

I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

I have been giving a few interviews lately and every Company is asking me to confirm if i can get my NP reduced from 90 Days to 45 or 60 Days. I'm still under probation but assigned to a Project already. Should I ask my Account Manager and HR about it or its unethical to do so. Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

Got hired 3 years ago- newly created staff accountant role with the plan that it’ll go into a senior and then manager role. 1.5 years in I get a title promotion to senior, told I’ll get more duties, start supervising AP, and get monetary promotion to match next year. Got way more work, but nothing else promised within that year. Told next money bump would be manager role (no raise for senior still) and I need to take on more and start supervising AP. Again, seeing nothing…time to leave?
