, CHAPTER 1: THE MANAGER AND MANAGEMENT
ACCOUNTING
Managerial versus Financial Accounting:
Managerial Accounting Financial Accounting
- Internal reporting - External reporting
- Specification of users - Rules and regulations
- Continuous provision of - Periodic provision of information
information - Historical
- Future-oriented
Management accounting is the process of:
- Measuring
- Analyzing
- Reporting
Financial and non-financial information that helps managers make decisions to fulfill the
goals of an organization.
Managers use management accounting information to:
1. Develop communicate, and implement strategies
2. Coordinate product design, production and marketing decisions and evaluate a
company’s performance.
Management accounting information and reports do not have to follow set principles or
rules. The key questions are always:
How will this information help managers do their jobs better?
Do the benefits of producing this information exceed the costs?
5 areas in which management accountants provide information:
Planning and controlling the organization
Cost-Price calculation
Cost allocation
Investment appraisal
Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis/BEP analysis
“Information should be provided timely in the required formats.”
Cost accounting:
Cost accounting provides information for both management accounting and financial
accounting professionals.
It’s the process of measuring, analyzing and reporting financial and non-financial
information related to the cost of acquiring or using resources in an organization.
Cost accounting is part of management accounting!
