J-Chron's board of directors periodically meets with the CFO of the company. The CFO reports on the financial status of a company project, after which the board inquires about the project's compliance with legally-required accountings principles. It asks no other questions about the project. Which of the following is true? A) The board is meeting all of its vigilance requirements. B) The board is not meeting any basic vigilance requirements. C) The board is meeting legally-required vigilance standards, but not necessarily those which would protect shareholders' interest. D) The board is not legally required to meet vigilance requirements.

Based on the question, it is clear that the board of directors is only ensuring that the accounting methods used to report the current company’s project are in line with any legal regulations that are applicable to the project. No questions in regards to the current progress of the project, such as how the budget is used; what it is used for; are the funds used appropriately, are being considered by the board. This means that the board is not carefully considering the shareholders’ interest, who might not be entirely on board with the project if it is not going as well as it should have, or if it is costing more than the value of the project itself.
