follow the client profile specifics then you need to ask for another account. If the new account specifics goes against your practices then you might want to consider either giving in and going by the client wishes or finding a new profession. I know it can be hard to transcribe something differently than you have always or how you feel to be "correct"; however, if that is the way your employer and their client have requested it then you need to comply. Hope this helps.
