The member normally do not go to that detail of the accounts of the concern that they able to pin-point the weak points of the operation of the company.

2) The Public Interest principle: The members who would not able to fulfill their responsibilities and show their commitment towards their professional and judgment activities, are also culprit of not serving the public interest and do proper honor to the public trust.
