　　2.2  Management accounts are prepared for internal managers of an organization.

　　  D．None of the statements are correct.
　　【Answer】D
　　【Explanation】Statement（1）is incorrect. Limited liability companies must, by law, prepare financial accounts. The format of published financial accounts is determined by law. Statement（2）is therefore incorrect. Management accounts do serve as a future planning tool but they are also useful as a historical record of performance. Therefore all three statements are incorrect and D is the correct answer.
