Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the term 'financial intermediary' by breaking it down. A financial intermediary is an entity that facilitates the flow of funds between savers (those who have excess funds) and borrowers (those who need funds).

Step 2: Compare the options provided in the question. Analyze each option to determine which one aligns with the definition of a financial intermediary.

Step 3: Option A describes a company that prepares and analyzes financial statements for internal management use. This is related to internal accounting processes, not the role of a financial intermediary.

Step 4: Option C refers to an individual who audits financial records. Auditing is a separate function focused on verifying the accuracy of financial statements, not facilitating fund flow.

Step 5: Option D mentions a government agency responsible for setting accounting standards. This is related to regulatory functions, not the intermediary role. The correct answer is the option that defines an entity acting as a middleman between savers and borrowers.
