Most common Accounting Questions

Hi all,

Non business and finance major here doing technical interview prep. Curious to hear what the most common types of accounting questions are. I’m able to answer the typical “walk me through the 3 financial statements” and I know how depreciation and inventory affect the 3 financial statements, but I’m curious to hear from your own experiences what other types of accounting questions are asked. Other line item change scenarios? Recommendations on guides to use other than 400 questions?
