Accountants have shown how simple it is to inflate profits artificially by manipulating accounting
standards, while the stock market demonstrates that such artificial inflation will be followed by
natural deflation: many companies have been humbled by falling profits and share prices. Certainly,
accounting standards are as much to blame as accountants, but the heart of the problem is that
tension between the interests of management and those of shareholders is almost invariably
resolved in favour of management. Share holders notionally have the right to vote against the re-
election of auditors, but they never do, and it is the management that signs the cheques. It is
desirable for the accounting profession to police itself more effectively and for share holders to take
more seriously their responsibility for the election of auditors. However, neither is likely to happen.
Which of the following best replaces the word “notionally” (line7)?
A. actually B. theoretically C. figuratively D. legally E. naturally

D. Manipulation of accounting standards is ultimately undesirable and should be prevented.

has to be authorized by an official pollution control inspectorate.
Industry has complained repeatedly about the time and cost of getting operations approved under
the new system. The inspectors maintain, however, that industry often has itself to blame for delays
as many applications provide insufficient data. Industry has also worried about public access to the
information it supplies to get authorization. Information can only be withheld from public registers
on the grounds of commercial confidentiality, if a company can prove it would be disadvantaged by
5. For which two of the following reasons was the new pollutions control system set up?
