    Hello Sir, hope youre doing good
    Could you please elaborate on this threat;

    “Commercial pressure from outside the employing organization”

    What is commercial pressure?

    Commerce 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).

    It isn’t – it is an example of a circumstance that may create self-interest threats for a professional accountant in BUSINESS – not in practice.
