Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of a title in accounting reports: A title provides clarity and context, indicating the type of report and its intended audience.

Identify the types of accounting reports listed in the problem: Internal memos for departmental use, informal notes between accounting staff, financial statements prepared for external users, and draft calculations on a personal worksheet.

Evaluate the necessity of a title for each type of report: Internal memos and informal notes are typically used within the organization and may not require formal titles. Draft calculations on a personal worksheet are for individual use and do not need a title.

Recognize that financial statements prepared for external users are formal documents intended for stakeholders such as investors, creditors, and regulatory bodies. These require a clear title to ensure proper identification and understanding.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'Financial statements prepared for external users,' as these reports are formal and require a title to communicate their purpose effectively.
