As accountants and auditors, you may see many transactions flowing in and out of a business and what may happen, is that you get into a habit of accounting for / interpreting transactions in a particular way, or as auditor, you may find that you are leaning heavily on your client’s application of the accounting principles.

In either case, you may be doing so without applying your mind in following what the IFRS for SMEs standard requires.
