Q:

You face a challenging situation involving three people; your manager, a peer and a client. All are in an emergency and only person who can provide solution is you. How will you manage to satisfy them all?

Answer

Firstly I will understand the exact problem they are going through and depending on the intensity of the problem I will suggest them. But at any given time, a client’s problem is of utmost importance and having a happy client would be important for the organization. Even my manager and an associate will understand it.

Q:

What are the compliance- and/or ethics-related challenges you face most frequently in your current role?

Answer

This question provides information on several important aspects of a compliance program. First, it may highlight risks that the compliance officer was unaware of or didn’t fully appreciate (risk assessment). Second, it assesses how well employees are able to apply corporate policies in the context of their role (policy comprehension/retention and training effectiveness). Third, it reiterates and reinforces the employee’s understanding of risks and policies specific to them (training). Interviewees frequently struggle with this question initially and the interviewer may need to provide an obvious example of such a challenge to help the interviewee get started (i.e. gift policy, etc).

Q:

How can the company’s compliance policies be improved and/or better applied, communicated and enforced?

Answer

Compliance policies should be accessible to all employees, well communicated, and easy to understand and apply. Responses to this question can provide valuable end-user feedback in this regard. The additional area of “enforcement” may provide some insight into an organization’s ethical tone and employee perceptions about fairness and equality. A quality compliance program will assure that all violators are treated fairly, but equally. If employees perceive that management or others are “above the law,” the compliance program loses credibility.

Q:

When have you had to adapt to change in the workplace?

Answer

Being able to adapt to change in the workplace is an essential skill to possess because change is inevitable. The interviewer would like to know about a time you were required to adapt to change in the workplace. 


Sample answer in my view is to be "In my current management position, it was a lot of change to handle in a short time, especially being unsure of who to report to ahead of others and it took a little while to adjust. The training component of my staff was not easy either. However, in the end, it was worth it to secure such a high profile."
