Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Information outputs should be relevant to the needs of the user, reliable so that they can be trusted, timely so that they are available when needed, and accurate so that they are correct. This ensures that the information is useful and valuable to the intended users. Option B is partially correct but it misses the aspect of timeliness which is equally important. Option C is incorrect as one report cannot meet all different users' needs. Lastly, option D is incorrect as information should be distributed to all relevant stakeholders, not just management personnel.
