Answer 1

Answer:

is useful to the IRS in assessing taxes to business entities.

Explanation:

The financial accounting standards board (FASB) is a private, non-profit organization saddled with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining standard financial accounting and reporting for general guidance of individuals such as investors, issuers and auditors.

Financial reporting can be defined as the formal communication or disclosure of financial information and statements to present and potential users such as investors and creditors.

The objective of financial reporting include all of the following to provide information that:

1. Is useful to those making investment decisions. This information would help creditors to determine whether they should lend to a client or not; or assist investors in deciding whether they should invest in a business or not.

2. Is useful to those lending out money to business entities. When investors and creditors are well furnished with financial information about an organization, they would be able to assess the amounts of cash, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows from dividends  or interest.

3. Is useful to creditors in making decisions about providing resources to business entities.

In conclusion, the financial report is not useful to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in assessing taxes to business entities.
