Question

An important goal of a responsibility accounting framework is to help ensure which of the following?

Answer 1

segment and company financial goals are congruent.

Explanation:

I think the options are missed and hence given below for your reference:

a) decision-making is made by the top executives.

b) investments made by each segment are minimized.

c) identification of operating segments that should be closed.

d) segment and company financial goals are congruent.

Let us understand the meaning:

Congruent: It means two or more things coincides when superimposed.

Financial goals: The target which needs to be achieved in the current financial year.

Segments: Segment speaks about the location, product or service provided by the company.

Financial goals are necessary so that it would be easy to organize and work towards the specific goal.

For the business goal to be achieved, every organization should frame financial targets or goals.

So the important goal is to achieve segment and company financial goals and they become congruent when achieved.
