Answer 1

E) Assuring that the company is profitable

Step-by-step explanation:

Accounting processes are not meant to ensure that a company is profitable or not, they are meant to report the actual state of a company, not the desired one. If the company is profitable, then accounting should report that, if the company is losing money, then accounting should report that instead.

Accounting information system (AIS) documentation refers to the process by which accounting and financial data flows are traced.
