Budget Analyst Interview Question:

Tell me can You Effectively Curb Spending when Necessary?

Submitted by: Muhammad

There will undoubtedly be times when particular departments go over budget despite your attempts to anticipate and facilitate their needs. When this occurs, your employer will typically ask you to create a report for the department head that shows the difference between the proposed budget and actual spending, and part of this report will be creating recommendations that are designed to help the department curb spending. The best answer to this question will be along the lines of “I am familiar with and capable of creating reports that show where money is being spent as well as making recommendations for reducing spending in necessary areas.”
