1. What do you know about SAP Concur?
This question is a great way for the interviewer to assess your knowledge of SAP
Concur and how you use it. Use this opportunity to show that you know what
SAP Concur does, how it works and its benefits.
Example: “SAP Concur is an application that helps companies manage their
travel expenses. It allows employees to book flights, hotels and rental cars
online. The system also has features that allow users to track their spending and
monitor their budgets. I have used SAP Concur in my previous job as a project
manager at XYZ Company where I was responsible for managing all company
trips.”

2. Why did you decide to apply for this position at SAP Concur?
This question can help the interviewer get to know you better and understand
why you are a good fit for their company. Use your answer to highlight any skills
or experiences that relate to this position, such as SAP Concur’s mission
statement or values.
Example: “I applied for this position because I am passionate about helping
businesses save money while also providing excellent customer service. In my

insight into how to use SAP Concur to achieve similar results.”

This question is a great way to assess your problem-solving skills and ability to
create innovative solutions. Use examples from previous work experience or
education that show you can use critical thinking skills to find the best ways to
improve customer experiences.
Example: “In my last role, I was tasked with improving the company’s travel
policy for employees. The company had several different policies in place
depending on the employee’s position, which made it difficult for some
employees to understand what they were allowed to do when traveling. I
created one comprehensive travel policy that applied to all employees
regardless of their job title. This helped streamline communication between
employees and managers about travel.”

5. What is your approach to selling a product or service?


This question is an opportunity to show your sales skills and how you can apply
them to the role. Your answer should include a specific example of how you
used your selling skills in a previous position.
Example: “I believe that it’s important to understand my client’s needs before I
pitch a product or service. In my last position, I was working with a new client
who had no idea what they wanted from our company. I spent time getting to
know them and their business so I could learn about their goals and create a
proposal that would help them achieve those goals. The client ended up signing
on for three years because of my approach.”

experiences that show you know how to diffuse a situation.
Example: “In my last role as an accountant for a small business, I had a client
who was upset about their invoice. They were expecting one amount, but
instead received a higher number. When they called me, I explained why there
was a difference in the numbers and apologized for any inconvenience it caused

client.

comfortable using it on their own.”

10. Do you have any experience working with software development?


This question is an opportunity to show your knowledge of the software
development process. It’s also a chance for you to demonstrate that you can
work with others and collaborate on projects.
Example: “I have experience working with software developers in my previous
role as a project manager at XYZ Company. I worked closely with our IT
department, which included several software developers. We would meet
regularly to discuss upcoming projects and how we could best implement new
features into our existing systems. This helped me understand what was
involved in creating new applications and integrating them into our company’s
existing technology.”

departments within the company. One of these programs involved
implementing a new expense reporting system for employees who travel on
business trips. This program required me to communicate with each
department head about the rollout of the new system and how it would affect
their teams. I also had to ensure all employees were trained on the new system
before they could submit expenses.”

13. What do you think is the most important aspect of project management?
This question is a great way for the interviewer to assess your understanding of
project management and how you prioritize tasks. Your answer should show
that you understand what’s important in managing projects, but also highlight
your own strengths as a project manager.
Example: “I think communication is the most important aspect of project
management because it allows me to keep my team informed about any
changes or updates to the project. I always make sure to communicate with my
team members on a regular basis so they know what their responsibilities are
and when they’re expected to complete them.”

members, how did you handle it?
This question is a great way to see how you work with others and your ability to
compromise. When answering, it can be beneficial to mention that you were
able to find a solution that everyone was happy with.
Example: “I have worked on teams where I disagreed with other members
about the best course of action for a project. In these situations, I always try to
listen to what my team has to say and understand their perspective. After
listening, I will offer my own opinion and explain why I think it’s the best option.
If they are still not convinced, I will ask if there is anything else I can do to help
them feel more comfortable with my decision.”

16. Give us an example of a time when you were faced with a challenge and
how you overcame it.
This question is a great way to determine how you respond to challenges and
whether or not you have the skills necessary to overcome them. When
answering this question, it can be helpful to think of a time when you faced a
challenge in your previous job and explain what steps you took to solve the
problem.
Example: “In my last position as an accountant for a small business, I was tasked
with creating reports that would help our company understand where we could
save money on expenses. After working on these reports for several weeks, I
realized that there were some areas of spending that I hadn’t accounted for. I
spoke with my supervisor about the issue and she helped me create new
reports that included all of the information needed.”

INTERVIEW QAs SAP CONCUR
17. What do you think are the most important qualities for an auditor?
The interviewer may ask this question to assess your understanding of the role
of an auditor and how you would perform in that position. Your answer should
include a list of qualities, such as attention to detail, communication skills,
problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills.
Example: “I think the most important quality for an auditor is integrity. Auditors
are responsible for ensuring that financial records are accurate and complete, so
they must be honest about their findings. They also need strong analytical and
problem-solving skills because auditing involves identifying issues and finding
solutions. Finally, I believe it’s essential for auditors to have excellent
communication skills because they often work with other employees who may
not understand their processes.”

18. Explain some of the risks associated with auditing.


Auditing is a critical function of SAP Concur, and the interviewer will want to
know that you understand how important it is to ensure compliance with
company policies. Use examples from your own experience to show the
interviewer that you can handle this responsibility.
Example: “Auditing is an essential part of my job as a senior accountant at ABC
Company. I have been responsible for auditing transactions since I started
working there five years ago. The risks associated with auditing are
noncompliance, fraud and theft. Noncompliance occurs when employees don’t
follow company policy or procedures. Fraud happens when someone
intentionally misrepresents financial information. Theft is when someone takes
money without authorization.”

19. What kinds of audits have you performed in the past?


Audits are a common task for those who work in accounting. The interviewer
may ask this question to see if you have experience with the types of audits that
they perform at their company. Use your answer to highlight any specific skills
or knowledge you have regarding auditing processes.

8 Copyright© 2024, ZaranTech LLC. All rights reserved


INTERVIEW QAs SAP CONCUR
Example: “I’ve performed several different kinds of audits throughout my
career, including financial and compliance audits. I’m comfortable performing
both internal and external audits, although I prefer internal audits because they
allow me to use my own judgment when deciding which areas to focus on.
Internal audits also give me an opportunity to learn more about the company’s
operations and how we can improve our systems.”

20. How many clients have you audited before?


This question is a good way to assess your experience level with SAP Concur. If
you have audited clients before, the interviewer will want to know how many
and what kind of companies you worked with. If this is your first time auditing a
client, they may ask about other experiences that are similar in nature.
Example: “I’ve audited three different clients for their travel expenses. One was
a small company with only five employees, while another had over 500

INTERVIEW QAs SAP CONCUR
49. When it comes to machine learning, what do we mean by overfitting and
under fitting, and why are they factors to bear in mind throughout model
development?
Overfitting and under fitting are two crucial concepts in machine learning model
development. Overfitting occurs when a model learns the training data too well,
memorizing noise and outliers, leading to poor generalization on unseen data.
On the other hand, under fitting happens when a model fails to capture the
underlying patterns in the data, resulting in high training and testing errors.
Both overfitting and under fitting are important factors to consider because
they affect the quality and reliability of the model's predictions. Balancing these
two factors is essential to ensure the model performs well on both training and
testing data, ultimately delivering accurate and reliable results in real-world
scenarios. By guarding against overfitting and under fitting, we can create
models that are robust and capable of generalizing well to unseen data, thereby
increasing their practical applicability and value.

INTERVIEW QAs SAP CONCUR
51. Describe a situation where you took the lead without being asked to do so.
In my previous position as a team member in a marketing project, we
encountered a situation where our project was falling behind schedule due to a
lack of coordination among team members. Seeing the urgency of the situation,
I took the initiative to gather the team for an impromptu meeting. I shared my
observations and proposed a new project management system to streamline
our processes. Without waiting for approval, I assigned specific responsibilities
to each team member based on their strengths and expertise. By doing so,
everyone felt accountable and motivated to contribute their best. Additionally, I
took the lead in creating a visual timeline and clearly defined milestones to keep
us on track. To ensure effective communication, I implemented a daily check-in
routine where we discussed progress and addressed any challenges. This
allowed us to swiftly identify and resolve bottlenecks. By proactively taking the
lead, I was able to bring the team together and harness our collective potential.
We regained momentum, met our deadlines, and achieved even better results
than initially anticipated. This experience taught me the importance of stepping
up when needed and empowered me with the confidence to lead without
hesitation.

52. What are some of the key methods that Machine Learning professionals
use for dimension reduction, and how do they work?
Some key methods that Machine Learning professionals use for dimension
reduction are Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and t-Distributed Stochastic
Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE). PCA transforms the original variables into a new
set of uncorrelated variables called principal components, effectively reducing
the dimensionality while retaining the most important information. It does this
by finding the directions of maximum variance in the data and projecting the
data onto these directions. t-SNE, on the other hand, emphasizes the
preservation of local structure by mapping high-dimensional data points to a
lower-dimensional space. It uses probability distributions to measure the
similarity of data points in the original and reduced spaces, and iteratively

minimizes the divergence between the two distributions. These methods help
simplify the complexity of datasets, allowing us to visualize and analyze them
more effectively. By utilizing these dimension reduction techniques, Machine
Learning professionals can enhance model performance, improve efficiency,
and gain deeper insights from data.

53. Tell me about a time when you had to overcome a professional obstacle,
and how did you manage to turn it around?
During my previous role as a project manager, I encountered a major obstacle
when a key team member unexpectedly quit just a few weeks before a crucial
deadline. This setback threatened the successful completion of the project, as
this team member was responsible for a critical part of the process. However, I
swiftly assessed the situation and devised a plan to overcome this challenge.
First, I prioritized open communication with the remaining team members,
ensuring they understood the urgency and importance of finding a solution. I
immediately reached out to my professional network and engaged in an
extensive talent search to quickly identify potential candidates to fill the vacant
position. Simultaneously, I reassigned some responsibilities and streamlined the
workflow to ensure maximum efficiency during this transition period.
Additionally, I implemented cross-training sessions to empower team members
to step in and provide support as needed. Through proactive management and
effective delegation, we minimized the impact of the obstacle. After a rigorous
selection process, we successfully hired a skilled professional who seamlessly
integrated into the team and rapidly absorbed the required knowledge. As a
result, we not only met the deadline but also received positive feedback from
stakeholders for the project's seamless execution throughout the entire
process. This experience taught me the importance of adaptability,
resourcefulness, and maintaining open lines of communication in the face of
challenges. I am confident that my ability to quickly assess situations,
collaborate with the team, and actively seek innovative solutions would make
me an invaluable asset in overcoming obstacles in this role.

54. How might you, as the program manager, navigate the introduction of
new requirements during an ongoing project at SAP Concur?
As the program manager at SAP Concur, I would approach the introduction of
new requirements during an ongoing project by following a structured and
collaborative process. First and foremost, I would ensure clear communication
channels with all stakeholders involved in the project. This would involve
conducting regular meetings, providing status updates, and actively seeking
feedback and input. Once new requirements are identified, I would carefully
assess their impact on the project timeline, budget, and resources. It is crucial to
evaluate the feasibility of incorporating these requirements without
jeopardizing the overall project goals. This would involve engaging with the
project team and subject matter experts to analyze the potential risks,
dependencies, and trade-offs. Additionally, I would prioritize these new
requirements based on their strategic value and alignment with the project's
objectives. This would enable me to make informed decisions about whether to
include them immediately or defer them to a future phase. To navigate the
introduction of new requirements smoothly, I would create a change
management plan that clearly outlines the process for evaluating, approving,
and implementing these changes. This plan would include documentation,
formal change request procedures, and impact assessments.
Furthermore, I would work closely with the project team to ensure a seamless
integration of the new requirements. This would involve coordinating with
developers, quality assurance, and other relevant stakeholders to address any
technical challenges and ensure proper testing and implementation.
Throughout the process, I would emphasize clear and transparent
communication by keeping all stakeholders informed about the status of the
new requirements, any modifications to the project plan, and the rationale
behind any decisions made. By following this approach, I am confident that I
would effectively navigate the introduction of new requirements during an
ongoing project at SAP Concur, while maintaining a strong focus on delivering
value to our customers and stakeholders.
