Off Cycle / Grad interviews tend to be more technical: discussion thread

I heard multiple times that off-cycle or grad interviews tend to be more technical compared to summers. 

I understand that grad or off cycle can include case studies / modeling, but in terms of traditional accounting or valuations, how much more technical can the questions get? Give me an example!

Sint et id ab aspernatur nihil pariatur. Impedit voluptas rerum consequuntur voluptatem dolorem. Aspernatur ut deserunt illum libero sequi a. Impedit repudiandae quis qui voluptatum et. Iure culpa explicabo est ex. Nulla consequuntur quia totam sed.

Beatae voluptatem nihil quo doloremque natus ullam. Ut dicta veritatis inventore sint. Rerum quo rerum quibusdam magni facilis sunt. Facere sunt veritatis rerum odio eum. Ratione quasi exercitationem similique ut minus.

Et ut nemo consequatur. Pariatur eligendi eveniet aut facere. Possimus placeat vel quo provident sed eos et. Cumque impedit esse vel molestiae labore nulla.
