Explanation:
How to Research a New Auditing Client
By Maire Loughran

Here’s something every auditor should remember: Just because a client comes to you and wants you to audit its financial statements, you don’t have to accept the engagement. After all, you’re not selling shirts in a department store; you’re expressing an opinion on the fairness of the financial statements under audit. Individual and business financial decisions hinge on your audit report — decisions ranging from whether an individual invests in the business to whether a vendor extends your client credit."

This excerpt from the source linked to IMO documents that the English-speaking author does have a say, decent, understanding about what accounting and auditing are about.
