KPMG Auditing Associate interview questions

Why do you want to work for KPMG rather than the other 3 big companies? What is the cause of the recent financial crisis? Will Greece eventually recover? Tell me about an occasion when you have had to deal with an angry customer. Tell me a time you missed a deadline? What is the current challenge facing by our clients? Tell me about your previous experience Why KPMG? Why Forensic? Tell me about a time when you worked in a team. Did you build a solid relationship with anyone in that team? Can you give me an example of how you were 'resilient and persevered?' What contributions you think you can make to the firm? What is the most challenging thing you have faced professionally? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What part of forensic accounting interests you the most? What is a hidden talent you may have? Asked when I was in a difficult situation with a deadline where I didn't know what to do, and what I did to get the project done on time. How I use time management and planning. How do you go about telling someone, whether at work or in a group project, that they are incorrect? Where do you see yourself in five years? Tell me about a time that your supervisor gave you a constructive suggestion, and how did you take it? Whets the most rewarding experience you have had through volunteer work or through your professional career thus far?

Really pull from their intern pool. They do not ask detailed questions, only behavioral. They really seek to find a culture fit and assume that if you can pass the CPA and graduate with a respectable GPA that you can fulfill all the technical requirements. They like to see team work.
