I am interviewing with an insurance company soon. They

I wouldn't really waste my time worrying about general accounting problems faced by the industry, although by all means if you want to read about it, it wouldn't hurt. But, I assume you're going to be going into an entry-level position. What most entry-level positions entail is learning a company's system. That is, you won't be making broad accounting decisions but instead will be doing basically what they tell you to do.

yea, or a sales position...series 7 & 66 license, etc...steer clear, if so.. it will be sales, not accounting....keep l@@kin' and stay in accounting... imho....

oh yeah...that's a good point. If it's a sales position, what's more important will be whether or not you have a lot of friends who can buy your stuff.

yea, ha!!...that's right...your 1st few victims are always f&f...(freinds and family)....the sales side of insurance co's are a buzz saw for employees...2 out of 100 are good and "make it" as a cpa, the ins co's want you to become salesmen/women and managers.....i tries it but switched to flat fee services, as comissions was a crazy way to go....

good luck !!....make sure you let us all know what occured...
