Do you have experience working with external auditors?

"Yes, in my last role I interacted with our external auditors frequently in a variety of ways. First, as part of their assessment of internal controls, I would sit down with them to complete walkthroughs of the processes I follow each month. Additionally, I would prepare schedules that they would test as part of their audit. Examples of these schedules include balance sheet reconciliations and amortization schedules for our intangible assets. Finally, I would prepare draft footnote schedules for the audited financial statements. I believe it's very important to have a good working relationship with the organization's auditors."

My previous role required me to work with external auditors often. I would always cooperate and provide them with whatever information they needed. I would show them my process and reviews my reports with them. I would say I have a lot of experience with external audits.
