Fraud is a serious matter that some auditors occasionally come across. Familiarize yourself with RSM's specific guidelines and code of ethics; they offer several avenues of addressing unethical behavior and state, "If you see or suspect unethical, illegal or unsafe activity, don't ignore it-tell someone! You could keep a potentially serious situation from harming our clients, our people, or our firm." Share any stories where you've faced such situations, and explain how your approach aligns with theirs.

"Throughout my career conducting financial audits, I've always adhered to the SAS 99 statements on fraud. As long as I took every step possible in evaluating the risks - verifying that information was correct and verifying actual fraud - I would ensure that my evidence was sound and approach management of the organization and the auditing team with the information I gathered."
