An external auditor reviews the financial information of an organization and reports back on findings to the relevant stakeholders, shareholders, and governmental entities. External auditors evaluate the financial position of a company to ensure it is operating efficiently and lawfully.

When interviewing external auditors, the most suitable candidate should demonstrate strong knowledge of accounting standards, display professionalism, and work well within a team. Be wary of candidates who are likely to engage in unethical behavior and those who struggle with analytical and organization skills.
