1. Definition of Managerial Accounting
● Managerial Accounting: The process of identifying, measuring, analyzing, interpreting,
and communicating information to managers for the pursuit of an organization’s goals.
● Focuses on providing information to internal users (management) rather than external
users (investors, creditors).
2. Key Differences Between Managerial and Financial Accounting
● Purpose:
○ Managerial: Help managers make informed business decisions.
○ Financial: Provide information to external parties for investment and credit
decisions.
● Regulation:
○ Managerial: No mandatory rules; more flexible and can be tailored to specific
needs.
