Foremost issue in Barry Minkow’s fraud case is concerned with acceptance and continuation. Minkow comment about auditor’s concern of having ZZZZ Best account effectively. Due to this, auditors have clearly ignored to comply with the basic principle of code, specifically objectivity (APES110s.120.2) and professional competence and due care (APES110s.130.4).

If Auditor had made correct use of provision Professional Appointment, Client Acceptance, (APES110s.210.4), he might have refused to accept the proposal, or even after to continue as soon as various issues aroused.
