QUESTION 19 OF 32

Have you ever been offered a bribe at any of your previous positions? What did you do?

"I have not come across a situation like this before. If I were to be offered a bribe I would certainly not take it. I would be sure to report the incident immediately."

Tell the interviewer if you have ever been in a situation where you have been offered a bribe for a positive audit result.

"Yes, I have been offered a bribe previously. Earlier in my career, I was performing a financial audit on a client. I was offered a cash incentive in exchange for a positive grade. I, of course, did not take the bribe and I reported the situation to my supervisor."

Anonymous Answer

In a recent assignment, I discovered that the payroll accountant and the finance manager were committing fraud through collusion. They were paying ghost employees. When I raised the issue with the finance manager, he promised to give me money if I did not report the issue. I did not take the bribe but reported it to my supervisor.

Rachelle's Feedback

Great example. I have cleaned it up just a touch.

When I raised the issue with the finance manager, he offered to pay me if I did not raise the issue. I did not take the bribe, and reported the full situation to my supervisor."
