Published process vs practice
What to prepare for
Online assessment (Neurosight)
Grant Thornton says this strengths assessment usually takes under 5 minutes, uses dynamically adaptive scoring and gives warm-up items. It says no significant preparation is needed and sends a personalised strengths report.
AI-enabled case study
About 50 minutes: review business materials, write a recommendation and record two short videos, using a built-in AI tool with up to 10 prompts. It assesses analysis, critical reasoning, writing and judgement in using AI.
Virtual group exercise
Led by the recruitment team and assessing collaboration and time management.
Experience day and final interview
In person at the London office, including a final interview with senior people from the service line.
Audit practice focus
Our sample trains materiality, misstatement and grant-compliance arithmetic, critical reasoning on short cases and responsible use of AI output.
