Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of each type of accounting mentioned in the problem: Tax accounting focuses on compliance with tax laws, auditing ensures the accuracy of financial statements, financial accounting provides information to external stakeholders, and managerial accounting is used internally to evaluate projects and make decisions.

Identify the key requirement of the problem: The type of accounting that evaluates a project's financial position and performance.

Recall that managerial accounting is designed for internal use by management to assess and make decisions about specific projects, including their financial position and performance.

Compare managerial accounting with the other types listed: Tax accounting and auditing are not primarily concerned with project evaluation, and financial accounting is aimed at external reporting rather than internal project analysis.

Conclude that managerial accounting is the correct type of accounting for evaluating a project's financial position and performance, as it provides detailed and relevant information for internal decision-making.
