> Hi everyone, my name is Manadé (pronunciation: Ma-Na-Day). While enrolling at De Anza to

complete my CPA credit, I am also a San Jose State University full-time MBA student. I have
had a few internship experiences related to business administration, strategic development, and
auditing. A little bit about me, my hobbies include watching cooking video tutorials on
YouTube, going for a walk, and exploring new food. I also love to travel because I believe that
travelling is benefit for personal growth. 

I am looking forward to having more knowledge about accounting because I have shifted my
interest toward an auditor career.

professor if the discussion does not help

e) Provide the name and associated definition for three of the six fundamental qualities listed in
the conceptual framework.
- relevance: The financial information must be relevant to the economic decisions of the users.
This information should also include predictive value and/or confirmatory value because these
values can be helpful during the decision-making process.

-Faithful representation: This means that the financial information must be completed, be neutral
(not biased), and free form of error (reliable).

-Comparability: When financial information is comparable, it allows the company to identify any
similarities or differences in economic events. This will also help to increase the relevancy of the
financial information.
