I thought accrual planning was more about accounting methods, so I don't think B is right. But I'm not confident about the others either.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about financial budgets being related to short-range plans. Could it be D?

I'm glad they didn't include 'creative accounting' as an option. That would have been way too tempting for some of my classmates! Financial planning it is.

Haha, 'surplus relief'? What is this, a charity event? Financial planning is definitely the correct answer.

I'm not sure about 'accrual planning' - that sounds more like an accounting concept than a strategic tool. Financial planning is the clear winner in my opinion.
