    It’s not a conclusion – it doesn’t say there is management bias – the answers identifies factors that could be indicators of the possibility of bias.

    For example – two salespersons each earn a commission of 5% on sales. One is told that if he achieves a target level of sales his commission will be increased to 10%. Who is most likely to overstate sales? Answer – the one who is incentivised to overstate states.
