Interview for Microsoft Finance Analyst Intern?

I have an interview in Seattle for MSFT for the role of Financial Analyst Intern.

Any tips on what to know or what MSFT looks for in a financial analyst intern? Technical questions list? (already checked glassdoor)

Job Description:

You'll also be able to explore one of many areas of Microsoft Finance: Financial Planning and Analysis, Treasury, Capital Markets, Sales and Marketing, Finance, Accounting, or any one of the many product groups such as Office, Xbox or many others.

Responsibilities

You will become a valued and integral member within your finance area. You will work on a variety of projects that directly impact the business, such as building models, forecasting, market research, or creating internal tools or databases. Your manager will work with you to make sure your projects are meaningful and relevant based on your interests and development needs. Additionally, you will receive finance-specific training and have access to all company-wide training resources to help you succeed in your role.

Qualifications

Pursuing a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, or business with a graduation date between Nov. 2019 and July 2020. One or years of classroom or work experience in financial risk analysis preferred. Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills.

All I see "financial risk analysis" preferred for technical qualifications. What risk analysis skills will they be looking for?
