What this is
In the UBS 2027 Group Internal Audit Video Interview, this prompt checks the quality of your choice. The interviewer needs more than enthusiasm. They need a clear reason that this business area matches the problems you want to solve and the behavior you have already demonstrated.
The real question
Your evidence should answer the wording directly:
What attracts you to the specific business area at UBS that you've applied for?
How you lose points
- Leading with prestige. Reputation cannot substitute for a reason to choose Group Internal Audit.
- Listing attractive features. Variety, responsibility, and learning remain empty until tied to an example.
- Presenting audit as fault-finding. A punitive framing misses the need to understand causes and improve outcomes.
- Inventing technical certainty. Overstating expertise is less credible than showing disciplined curiosity and evidence handling.
- Separating motivation from fit. What attracts you and what qualifies you should reinforce each other.
How you pass
Use a motivation triangle. One side is the problem type you enjoy, such as testing whether a process works as intended. The second is proof from a real situation. The third is the contribution you want to make in Group Internal Audit. If one side is missing, the answer feels borrowed.
- Start with the attraction. Name the part of the work that gives you energy.
- Prove the pattern. Describe a moment when you followed evidence beyond the first explanation.
- Show balanced judgment. Mention how you considered both control and practical execution.
- Make the next step logical. Explain why the role is a continuation of demonstrated behavior.
Imagine a candidate who helped a small charity reconcile event income. In this hypothetical, they notice repeated mismatches, map when records change hands, and discover that two volunteers use different cut-off times. They recommend one shared close procedure and confirm that it reduces exceptions. That story makes the motivation credible because investigation leads to a usable improvement.
