DK: Honestly, I prefer auditors that are quick learners with good problem-solving skills. Lower-level auditors have book-knowledge, but each business has their own creative ways of implementing GAAP to suit their needs. A good auditor, to me, is one who can adapt their book knowledge to the company's system and evaluate whether GAAP is followed. Honesty and integrity are non-issues because the Accounting profession has maintained a good reputation, as far as the general public is concerned, for employing individuals with strong ethical standards--even after the recent financial scandals in the news. Given the requirements they must attain, It is assumed that candidate auditors are upstanding citizens. Interview them just like you would any other position. Are they qualified? Do you "click" with them? Can they balance book smarts and street smarts? For advice on specific questions....talk to your HR department.
