Hello Sir, hope youre doing good
Could you please elaborate on this threat;“Commercial pressure from outside the employing organization”
What is commercial pressure?
October 5, 2020 at 8:07 am #587385Commerce essentially means business. So, for example, for listed companies there will be commercial pressure on management (directors) to maintain/improve share prices. Directors have a self-interest in meeting these expectations because the shareholders can remove directors (by simple majority).

Im sorry to bother you again over this but can you please clear how is this a self interest threat to an independent auditor? Please helpOctober 8, 2020 at 6:27 pm #587755It isn’t – it is an example of a circumstance that may create self-interest threats for a professional accountant in BUSINESS – not in practice.
