"What is an expense account? Kidding, of course! We bill our clients on milestones and do not have any expense allotments, due to the nature of our work. Rest assured, I would never be dishonest in the workplace. I am a firm believer in karma!"

The interviewer would like to know if you have ever falsified an expense report or kept funds not meant for you. Assure the interviewer that you can be honest with your expense reports. Discuss your previous expenses and how you keep track of them.

"I always keep very close track of my expenses, and I keep an exact spreadsheet which I update weekly, supported by receipts. I have never falsified an expense report."
