I was called for an exam based on maths, English and accounts before calling for an interview. During the interview I was mostly asked general questions followed by a subject based set of questions.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SJMS Associates (Colombo, Western) in Sept 2014
Interview
There are basically two interviews apart from the examination. Once a candidate passes the examination, he will be called for the interview within a week from the date of which the examination is held. First interview is with the head of the HR and an audit manager, and the second is with the senior partner and the partner of a group which the new candidate will be allocated after the selection process is over.

Technical knowledge is checked at the interview with the head of HR and an audit manager. Normally two questions are presented in relation to accounting and another two in relation to auditing.
Personal details and career expectations are inquired at the second interview. Sometimes, technical questions are presented too.
