Key Concepts

Managerial Accounting

Managerial accounting is focused on providing information to internal management to assist in planning, decision making, and controlling operations. It involves analyzing financial data to support business strategies, usually without strict adherence to external reporting standards like GAAP.

Financial Accounting

Financial accounting is concerned with the preparation of external financial reports that comply with legal, regulatory, and standard-setting requirements, such as Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Its primary purpose is to provide financial information to external stakeholders such as investors, creditors, and regulatory agencies.
