Assuming you are not auditing the accounts, and further assuming that you have no reason to suspect that a director is lying to you when you ask him for explanations, no.
Not our responsibility to check every expense but I would question anything I thought dubious just to ensure the client does have an explanation were he to be questioned by anyone less nice than me.
You're ACCA qualified (your post April 15) - shouldn't you be able to answer this fundamental question yourself?
