When using the cycle approach to segmenting the audit, the reason for treating capital acquisition and

repayment separately from the acquisition of goods and services is that:
A) the transactions are related to financing a company rather than to its operations.
B) most capital acquisition and repayment cycle accounts involve few transactions, but each is often
highly material and therefore should be audited extensively.
C) both A and B are correct.
D) neither A nor B is correct
