This is an opportunity to speak about your interaction with your previous employer's external auditing firm. A very key duty of any Controller is working with the auditors to ensure a smooth audit. Responsibilities include preparing working papers, completing checklists, completing balance sheet reconciliations, and attending audit planning meetings.

"Yes, I have ample experience interacting with auditors. My employer engaged Deloitte to perform our annual audit, and I would work with them throughout the year. It was my responsibility to prepare all of the footnotes to the financial statements in accordance with the latest GAAP principles. I was also responsible for documenting variance explanations. Additionally, I documented our internal controls for the auditors."
