Even though Senior Auditor is not a manager-level position, the interviewer wants to know if you have management skills. Some examples include providing on the job training and serving as a liaison between the Audit Manager and the junior staff.

"I take pride in taking more junior staff 'under my wing' when out on audit engagements. There will be times when I am the most senior person in the field, and it will be my responsibility to take on managerial duties. I enjoy passing on my knowledge to others and providing on the job training.."

A senior auditor is the one who leads the engagement on the field. I am someone who likes to coach and mentor new staff by sharing my knowledge base with them and giving them on-the-job training. Assigning audit areas to field staff is the first stage in planning the audit. Helping them interpret complex situations, answering any questions they might have, and monitoring their work.

Good start. Now, I'd explain how you'd guide staff through these stages. Have you done so in the past? If so, use an example to make your answer live for the interviewer.
