3y ago#1A is wrong because the management accounts are used mainly for control purposes and will not include all expenses of the company (for example interest paid on loans). It is the financial accounts that show the actual profit of the company.
B is wrong because the management accounts will not show how much finance the company needs or whether any finance required should be raised by issuing shares or by taking loans.
