Answer: C
Preparing simulated transactions for processing and
comparing the results to predetermined results is the best
method for proving accuracy of a tax calculation. Detailed
visual review, flowcharting and analysis of source code are
not effective methods, and monthly totals would not address
the accuracy of individual tax calculations.
