Interview questions: debtor reports

Dear Platinum:

While I am preparaing interview question, I have few questions wanna ask:

1. I saw an ads, the job responsibility states: "produce aged debtor report and debtor statements." Is this meaning Receiable ageing summary or Payable ageing summary, or both of them? what is debtor statements? That position is bookkeeper. 

2. I always see " matching, coding, batching invoice". I understand coding, but for matching, batching a little bit confused. does matching refer to check all the information on invoice is correct? or checking the system does not have this transaction before I data entry it ?
Batching means file invoices in batches in alphebatical order, or in different catogaries, so it is easier for accountant make payment, is that right?

3. could you please give me a little hint about the how to prove you are attention to detail. I really don't know what kind of example I can give to interviewer.

I secured a face to face interview as an assistant accountant. I will have this interview next monday. and it is 45mins group interview. Can you please give me some advices about group interview? also do you know anything about REST system? because on the job responsibility, it states: Data entry into REST for both creditors and receipts of rents."  last one, the job criteria states :" trust account payable/receivable." I never dealing with trust account before, could you please give some advices about trust account?

Thank you

Samantha
