Management accountants are MOST likely to feel outside pressure to influence the numbers favorably when the information is used for:

A) budgeting.

B) compensation and promotions.

C) continuous improvement.

D) product costing.

The correct answer is letter "B": compensation and promotions.

Explanation:

It is unethical to influence or distort accounting information to benefit an employee over another in front of promotions or at the moment of providing benefits to workers. Sometimes and against the law, manager accountants are pushed to do so for the company to obtain extra income or when the decision of providing a better job position to an employee over another is biased.
