Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
1. Online Assessments (numerical reasoning, logical reasoning, workplace behavioral)
2. Video Interview (pre-recorded video interview)
3. In Person Interview at their office
Do the practice tests a few times before attempting the actual tests, it'll help with getting familiar with the format and content of the tests. I personally found the pre-recorded video interview the hardest as it really puts you on the spot. As long as you have a couple of good examples prepared to address some of the most common behavioral questions, you should be fine! Good luck

lot of stages of interview. i need to take a test. then go through the first stage of interview. then 2nd interview is quite tough as they the questions are more very high thinking level which i am underprepared. but it was a great experience.
The process was well-structured and professional overall. It included behavioral questions, discussions about audit/accounting concepts, and questions focused on teamwork and problem-solving. Interviewers were friendly and made the conversation comfortable. The process was moderately challenging but fair, with clear communication throughout.
