Hello!

+1 Ian, super helpful list he shared. 

You see that the variety of topics is huge, so you need to be ready for almost anything. In these cases, be sure also to review the “classics”: 

1. Profitability cases- basic profitability framework.

2. Idea generation cases: for any specif issue

3. Growth cases: market penetration, new product launch, product mix change, etc.

4. Pricing cases

5. M&A cases

6. Valuation cases

Cheers, 

Clara

Hi there,

Feel free to shoot me a message - I've helped a number of candidates recruit successfully for the risk practices in the Big4. But, here's some info below as well.

In general you should expect both a case and a fit/behavioral portion (but double-check with HR). You should be ready for both generalist cases and absolutely prepared for any risk-related case.

Some key topics could be:

  • Accounting and Internal Controls
  • Cyber and Strategic Risk
  • Regulatory and Legal
  • Internal Audit
  • IT Governance
  • Forensic investigations
  • Non-financial assurance
  • Derivative valuations
  • Regulatory Compliance
  • Sustainability reports (triple bottom line)
  • Treasury management and control
  • Internal control framework
  • Enterprise risk management
  • Fraud risk
  • IT Control design
  • Litigation support

What do some case questions look like? Oh, I don't know, just a random guess from the below :)

Please note I worked closely to a Big4 Risk Advisory team (for a couple of years I was setting up the Strategy team for the Advisory Service Line. 

In the Risk Advisory you don't get cases for the interview. You may get technical questions, and you get fit/behavioral questions (in which I can help extensively).

So don't waste your time preparing for strategy-style interviews, and focus on technical/job related questions and fit questions.
