CONVENTION is an agreement, principle or statement expressed or implied that is used to solve given types of problems.

For example, placing debits on the right and credits on the left of an account is termed an accounting convention.

MONITOR, generally, is to keep tabs on; keep an eye on; or, keep under surveillance. In business, it is a person or firm appointed to review and report on, without controlling or approving, the day-to-day transactions of a business.
