I want to see exactly what they do 😂 lol

Depends on what role - if entry level: know the differences between Soc1s, soc2s, SOX audits, know a general understanding of different tech layers - app level, OS, network, etc. also do some reading on general IT controls and application IT controls, automated, manual, etc. (if entry level that would look good to give an overview).

Senior level - talk about past experience in IT audit, what type of audits, S1/S2/Sox. What was your role, did you lead walk throughs - if so, for what type of controls. How big of teams did you lead, how did you improve audit quality, have you worked on any proposals, did you utilize offshore resources, usage of bots to automate testing, understanding of soc reports, did you write any narratives in reports, etc

For entry level as well - talk about the life cycle of an audit, pre planning - if any changes need to be done from prior year (any weaknesses in control testing that should be improved on, budget planning, planning of walk throughs - finding appropriate control owners to lead the walk throughs), then you conduct interim walk throughs - which are meetings to understand each IT control in place, this is round 1 of testing early in the audit timeline, you gather support for about 60% of testing samples, then within the last like 90 days (I forget what the timeline is bc I’ve been out of IT audit for 2 years), you conduct roll forward walk throughs, which is you confirm if there have been any changes to the controls or not (if not - you select the remaining tesitng samples you need)- if there have been changes, you document the changes and gather the samples you need. Then review process where you’re higher ups review and you address any updates that need to be made, and then for SOX you’re good, for SOC 1 report, you write the report and any changes and updates, and then you issue the report

Can two different recruiters submit you to the same place if they’re submitting 4-5 months apart? I’m not using both concurrently.

I’m wondering if there’s going to be any conflict/look bad etc if there’s an overlap.

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
