  • Managerial accounting is the practice of identifying, measuring, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating financial information to managers for the pursuit of an organization's goals.
  • Financial accounting involves recording, summarizing, and reporting the stream of transactions and economic activity resulting from business operations over a period of time to the public or regulators.
  • Managerial accounting differs from financial accounting because the intended purpose of managerial accounting is to assist users internal to the company in making well-informed business decisions.
