Answer 1

In this case,the answer would be option b) or They are considered as financial forecast.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Any prospective financial statements is a highly important and confidential document for any legitimate business organization and should be prevented from being disclosed, especially to any external sources.
• Therefore, it s treated or considered as only a general financial document especially when dealing with any party or individual with whom the concerned company or organization is not directly dealing with.
• Hence, only an official financial reporting containing an overall financial forecast is sufficient for general use of the report with any related or unrelated party or individual.
