d. manager needs

Explanation: meeting the manager's need is said to be the primary criterion for the preparation of managerial accounting reports. This is true because managers rely on them to get a complete picture of how the business is doing so far or presently and can help them make informed decision on how best to steer the firm towards meeting its goal and mission. In doing so, accounting reports show the financial situation of a business at present or over a specific period of time. These reports include data such as transactions, operational costs, product profitability, and regional sales. Examples of such accounting reports are Inventory and Manufacturing Report, Job Cost Report, Budget Report and so many more.
