Financial Auditor Interview Question:

Explain me what skillset do you see as being the most important for an external auditor to have?

Submitted by: Muhammad

There are a lot of skills that can benefit an auditor, such as being organized, proficient at math and detail oriented. However, one of the most important skills that can be possessed by an external auditor, in my opinion, is that of analysis. Someone in this position is expected to identify discrepancies in documents and have enough knowledge to suggest solutions. Without the ability to analyze this kind of bulk data, an auditor will not be very good at his or her job.
