English term or phrase: advance the company's position with its accounting firm

...accounting personnel {advanced the Company’s position with its independent registered public accounting firm}, Ernst & Young LLP, even when those accounting personnel did not believe that those positions were in accordance with GAAP.”

Can anyone give a well-based explanation about this line?

Thanks a lot.

Chinese translation:与会计师事务所一起（通过造假账）来使公司财务状况更好看些

Explanation:
会计师事务所是独立外聘的，即安永，公司领导要求会计人员在与会计师事务所共事时，造些假数，这样看起来业绩就上去了，股票也升了，领导拿的钱也多了。有些假可以造完了让会计师事务所看不出，有些就得取得他们的配合了。估计上述内容是来自下述文章吧：

通过其独立的注册会计师事务所抬高了公司的地位

Explanation:
Logistically analyzed, it perhaps implies that if all the financial statements were prepared strictly in accordance with GAAP, the company’s state wouldn’t have been advanced to a higher ranking, but the accounting personnel managed to do it by a flexible way (legally or illicitly) 即便这些会计人员认为这些财务报表的生成 (或根据段落其它内容定）并不符合公认的会计原则，他们依然设法通过其独立的注册会计师事务所抬高了公司的地位。

advance the company\'s position with its accounting firm [在某些歧見上]説服独立的注册会计师事务所認同公司的看法

Explanation:
advanced the Company’s position with its independent registered public accounting firm

= to convince or to persuade the independent registered public accounting firm to agree with the Company's accounting treatment on certain transactions

--------------------------------------------------

GAAP is a generally accepted standard. The problem is one standard alone can never satisfactorily reflect the true financial picture of ALL companies, never covering ALL industries. There are many instances where a company does not believe blinding following the GAAP will reflect its true financial position. This is the situation where a good accounting personnel can fight and stand firm for its employer (i.e. the Company) with the view to deviate from the GAAP.

...... advancing the Company's case = ..... advancing the Company's position

n.b. this is by no means any form of falsification of accounting records
