DROPDOWN ACTIVITY

Are the following sentences correct? Has the speaker chosen the correct voice: Active or Passive?
Example: An accountant prepares a financial report every week. (No)
Why no? Because in the above example, what is important is the action itself and not the doer, so the Passive voice is better: A financial report is prepared every week.
