Verified step by step guidance

Understand the term 'transacting business' in the context of accounting. It refers to engaging in activities that result in financial transactions, which are recorded in the accounting records.

Eliminate options that do not align with the definition of 'transacting business.' For example, setting accounting standards for the industry is a regulatory activity, not a business transaction.

Consider the option 'Only preparing financial statements at year-end.' This is a reporting activity, not an ongoing transaction process.

Evaluate the option 'Auditing the financial records of other companies.' Auditing is a review process, not a direct engagement in financial transactions.

Conclude that 'Engaging in activities that result in financial transactions recorded in the accounting records' best describes 'transacting business' in accounting.
