Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of financial statements: Financial statements are designed to provide stakeholders with information about the financial position, performance, and cash flows of a business.

Identify the key components of financial statements: These include the balance sheet (reporting financial position), income statement (reporting financial performance), and cash flow statement (reporting cash inflows and outflows).

Clarify the type of information reported: Financial statements focus on quantitative data such as assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, and profits, which reflect the financial health and operational results of the business.

Differentiate from other types of information: Employee satisfaction, marketing strategies, and customer preferences are not typically reported in financial statements, as they are qualitative and operational aspects rather than financial metrics.

Conclude that the correct answer is 'Financial position and performance of the business,' as this is the primary focus of accounting reports provided to stakeholders through financial statements.
