Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question of which subcontractors to use is more relevant to the operations manager or purchasing manager, not the controller who is responsible for managing the financial forecast. The other questions are more relevant to the financial forecast, as they address the company's future plans, the state of the local economy, and the competition.
