Question:

The use of estimates in financial reporting is best described as: 
A. acceptable despite the risk of manipulation by management. 
B. a factor that reduces the understandability of financial statements. 
C. avoidable through sophisticated accounting and auditing techniques. 

 

Answer = A 
The use of estimates creates limitations in the accounting model because estimates provide a vehicle for manipulation by unscrupulous management. However, estimates are considered necessary to the faithful representation of the economic performance and position of a company.
