are you sure the question is complete? shouldnt there be a "seperate" between considered and from ? if thats the case than all of the above is your answer.

The first question is a little unclear imo. Financial reports could be used by all of them. If I'd had to guess then I'd go for corporation. Management focuses on differents areas.
Edit: but here management doesn't refer to the skill of managing, so it could be either one of them :conf: |

well lets see if we can figure it out
1)management - uses financial records to attempt to minimize costs, change methods to make the company more presentable.
2)corporation - a corporation itself doesnt use financial records its the board of directors of the corporation that will use it (management) the shareholders of the corporation maybe so i think its wrong.
3)partnership - an alternative for corporation, its just a type of business.
4)governmental unit - could be the answer if it means government auditors. |

You're right about B & C. Financial reports are used IN corporations and Partnerships, not by them.
Then it's between A or D. D isn't really clearly defined so you could say the same as above, but A seems to obvious though. This is a stinky question :wtf: |

a. management
d. the entity is an individual economic unit for which data are recorded, analysed, and reported
, and,
d. all of the above
and, yes, my bad, the last question, i copied wrong.
it should read:
