Sever21 [200]

The answer is savings account A.

Since savings account A compounds the interest quarterly it adds interest to the account every quarter. This makes it a more profitable account than one that compounds the interest semiannually. The reason is that the bank is adding interest more frequently, so you are earning interest on the interest that the bank has already paid you.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: Independent bank reconciliations.

Explanation:

A bank reconciliation is a process by which the records of a bank account are verified to be correct, by comparing the personal records with the records that appear on the bank statement. This process is usually done independently when a company wants to audit its accounts and reconcile its processes.

Because this is a review of bank accounts (savings, payroll, checking accounts), no physical control is needed to do it, but rather a monetary control.
