In order to demonstrate your in-depth knowledge of health care accounting and finance, and to ensure that you have as much information as possible in order to determine if you want to accept this position if it were offered to you, you will develop a series of five questions for each of the interview sessions listed above (for a total of 15 questions and answers).In order to anticipate the responses, and based on some research you have done using the Consolidated Financial Statements, Auditor's Report, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, you will develop your anticipated responses to each of your questions.
