Sample STAR Answer▾
Situation
During an internship at a local accounting firm, I assisted in an inventory observation engagement. I noticed a colleague was about to approve a count without performing the required test counts, citing time pressure.
Task
I needed to decide whether to overlook the shortcut to avoid conflict or to uphold my sense of professional responsibility, even as an intern. The quality of the audit evidence was at stake.
Action
I politely pulled the colleague aside and reminded him of the firm’s quality control standards. When he resisted, I respectfully escalated the concern to our supervising senior, who then performed the proper test counts alongside me. I documented the correct procedure so there would be no repeat.
Result
The engagement was completed with full compliance, and the client received reliable inventory figures. The senior later thanked me and noted my commitment to integrity in my internship evaluation. This experience made me seek a firm where such values are non-negotiable.
