My opnion are the false statement regarding control accounts and planning packages is that control accounts are typically used for detailed project planning and tracking. In reality, control accounts are more commonly used for high-level project management and cost control, while detailed project planning is often carried out through work packages or planning packages. Control accounts serve as a summary level for monitoring and controlling project costs and schedules.

Control accounts are summary accounts used to keep track of the total amount owed by or to all individual debtors and creditors in a company's accounting records. These accounts are usually maintained in the general ledger and provide a quick reference to the total balance of outstanding debts or receivables.
