Interview tips with manufacturing company

Hi Everyone, I'm after some general advice on cost accounting.
I'm going for an interview with a manufacturing company however my background is insurance and property/service charges.
Can anyone offer general advice / pointers to give me a bit of a helping hand.
Thank you!

Have a look at their accounts on companies house if available and learn what you can from these.
Do you mean you're going for your first accounting role but your previous experience is from another industry?

I would also find out what industry they are connected with, this will give you an idea as to the products they make and possible manufacturing processes.
One thing you could ask is how much shop floor work you will be expected to do, you should be at home on the shop floor as well as your desk.
With most cost accounting roles you might not get much actual management accounting experience which you may want to ask about.
It's not my first accounting role but first time in the manufacturing environment.
