# ensure compliance with accounting conventions — Accountant

As an Accountant, 'ensuring compliance with accounting conventions' isn’t about *knowing* the rules – it’s applying them consistently in your daily work. This means meticulously following standards like GAAP or IFRS when recording every transaction. Think journal entries: are you recognizing revenue appropriately (when earned, not just received)? Are assets valued correctly (historical cost vs. fair value depending on the standard and asset type)? It's about making defensible decisions based on established principles, not gut feeling. Tools used daily include accounting software (like Xero, QuickBooks, SAP) configured *correctly* to enforce these conventions, plus checklists for month-end/year-end close processes.
