Common knowledge gaps in finance interviews?

I have watched and read on certain finance and accounting topics but it all goes in one ear and out the other. I already forgot the specifics on ASC 842. In an unfortunate event I tossed the WSO guide I purchased several years ago. My knowledge is too rudimentary and I don't know how to find knowledge gaps to prep for an interview.

What are some common basic knowledge gaps you might expect from someone who prepares but doesn't work in the industry?

Commodi nihil ut sit suscipit enim in ipsa neque. Vitae porro omnis vel commodi quibusdam impedit. Est consequuntur sint dolores voluptatem omnis qui eos. Mollitia quia quis ipsam mollitia odit explicabo explicabo. Praesentium et est laborum et dolorum.

Odio sit hic ut. Sapiente sunt eius et tempore sunt beatae. Dolorem modi molestiae ipsam optio et aliquam. Ea adipisci consequuntur eum at tempora.

Harum ratione rem fuga veniam. Cum non ullam fugit maiores sint beatae sit. Sequi quia accusamus similique incidunt. Eveniet dolor ipsam eum sunt debitis libero expedita. Ratione et eos ut minima et nesciunt.

Impedit qui est est nihil. Incidunt laudantium et facilis consequatur sapiente accusamus.
