Abstract

Summarizes the key features of managerial accounting. Identifying cost components is essential prior to making resource-dependent decisions for certain programs or objectives. Costs need to be evaluated for both the short term and the long term while also being quantified. After decisions are finalized, it is crucial to monitor and regulate expenditures to ensure they are suitable and justifiable for the activities being carried out. The program's overall success should be assessed to enhance future resource allocation decisions. There are no strict or generally accepted rules that limit the scope of managerial accounting. Managerial accounting enables financial analyses to aid in policy-making, decision-making, and the planning and monitoring of present and future activities. Internal management reporting may necessitate gathering and displaying financial data in formats that diverge significantly from those used for external reporting.

Managerial accounting mainly deals with four functions:

Managerial planning
Determining the cost
Cost control
Performance evaluation
