INTRODUCTION
                                                                                                        3
1 - SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES OF MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
    After presenting this set of concepts, we can affirm that the main objective of
financial accounting will be to prepare and provide quantitative information to various
decision-making elements of the entity or company;
Presented the concept of general accounting, we then move on to the concept of management.
                                                                                                            4
    Similar to accounting, the management process of a company or organization also has
interveners who are basically the Managers themselves, the Administrators and the directors
at the most diverse levels (General, Financial, Production).
    Your functions specifically relate to decision-making regarding the use
alternative of limited resources (capital, equipment, etc.), by maintaining and reporting on the custody of the
resources of the entity for which they are responsible and to the effective planning and control of resources
human/materials of an entity.
    The exercise of your functions has as its ultimate goal the rational use of the existing resources in
entity, the satisfaction of all stakeholders in the company's activities (employees, suppliers,
clients, status) and lastly perhaps the most important the creation of added value for the partners and
shareholders.
    Managing will be in a shorter but also more objective way to optimize limited resources.
that are made available, with the greatest added value and possible return.
    In order to assess the breadth and complexity of the concept and functions of management, it is necessary to
Below are two quotes that allow us an objective analysis of what it means to manage:
Managing is like holding a dove in your hand. If we squeeze it too hard, we kill it. If we open it...
    The combination of the accounting and management concepts previously presented serves as a basis for
a better understanding and analysis of the concept of management accounting of its scope and its
objectives.
    Following the same line of thought previously presented, we have as participants in the
management accounting three types of professionals in three different phases of action that accounting
of management dictates:
      Management Accountant: responsible for the execution of management accounting, namely
        in the collection, preparation and interpretation of information;
      Controllers: the professionals who carry out the process of controlling and analyzing information
        provisional and what actually happens in reality;
      Directors and Managers who are the clients of the information for a proper analysis and future
        decisions;
    At this point, the figure of a new professional directly related to accounting emerges.
management: the Management Accountant. This is a Cost Accounting specialist who deals with
report for internal management purposes of companies.
    Given the performance of a highly complex function, a set of requirements is demanded of you.
                                                                                                                   5
    The management accountant will need to possess:
      Diagnostic capability;
      Knowledge of various subjects (finance, economics, management);
      Ability to make decisions;
      Ability to communicate (understandable and concise);
      Integrity;
    The management accountant is therefore responsible for the preparation and execution of accounting.
management that will have as main objectives:
      Also provide financial information;
      Quantitative information;
      Qualitative/specific information;
      Cost accounting of companies;
    It is in these last two items that the main difference resides, and perhaps much of the concept of
management accounting, for the general or financial accounting that we all know.
    Management accounting is a discipline of general accounting with a more technical character
specifically geared towards the analytical determination of the costs incurred by the company, with the
the purpose of providing information to company decision-makers, and in some situations to decide and suggest
decision making.
    Thus, adopting a more technical definition, management accounting will be the
process of identifying, measuring, accumulating, analyzing, preparing, communicating, and interpreting information
(financial and operational) to be used by management to plan, evaluate, and control an organization and
ensure the use of, and the responsibility for, its resources.
                                                                                                                     6
2 - THE FUNCTIONS OF THE COMPANY: INCOME STATEMENT BY FUNCTIONS
    From the analysis of the previous chapter, we found that one of the users of management accounting is
the companies. In the following chapter, fundamental concepts related to the
definition of your organization's company and its functions as a basis for better work
understanding the applicability and utility of management or analytical accounting in them.
    First, we will globally define what a company is.
    It is a set of people and assets that interact internally and with numerous
external entities, developing an activity (Productive, Commercial, Provision of Services),
through multiple functions or departments that articulate with each other and sometimes condition each other.
    This type of entities has a set of functions or objectives. Companies have two functions.
different: the economic function and the social function.
    Within the economic function, that which largely serves as an argument for the creation of
A company can encompass various types of objectives to achieve:
       Maximization of profit value;
       Maximization of sales volume;
       Maximization of the company's value;
       Creation of added value, that is, a remuneration for the initially invested capital
         by the investors in the creation of the company and its business;
    As for the social function, it assumes an increasingly important role in our days.
increasing, since it largely reflects the involvement that the company can achieve with the agents
non-economic factors that surround it and the contribution it makes to the development of social order in the environment
shareholders, managers and their employees, regarding the social function the intended recipients
will be the State, Local Government and the environment in general.
                                                                                                                            7
      Degree of responsibility and autonomy of each department;
    The representation of these relationships of dependency, hierarchy, and responsibility has a
schematic representation of what is called the Company's Organizational Chart.
    From the analysis of a company's organizational chart, the main idea we can draw is that the
the company is organized into departments. A department of a company will be a set
of people who, having a set of means at their disposal, performs a specific activity with
a certain degree of autonomy and with previously set objectives.
    The most common departments found in the vast majority of companies are
basically the following:
      Management/Administration;
      Production;
      Commercial;
      Administrative and Financial;
    As mentioned earlier, each of these departments has a set of activities.
    specifics that will be consonant with the case basically the following:
Production department:
      Manufacturing of products;
outdoor and the setting of objectives aimed at the continuity and development of the company.
    So that all these departments can develop their activities and achieve their objectives
those proposed to them have to bear costs.
    The cost will thus be a sacrifice of resources aimed at achieving a specific objective.
    The existing types of costs are basically two:
      Technological or material cost: a set formed by the quantities of goods and services that...
         consume or use;
                                                                                                                                  8
       Monetary cost: value resulting from the sum of the products of those quantities by
         respective prices;
    According to the activities carried out by each of the departments of the companies, so the
costs that they support have a specific character. Then a set of costs is presented.
normally supported by each department of a company:
       On procurement: pertains to the purchase, storage, and distribution of materials;
       Of production or industrial: all those that the manufacturing of the products implies;
For sale or distribution: they pertain to the execution of sales and the delivery of products;
       Administrative: they pertain to the management and control of the company's activities;
       Financial: Cost of external capital applied in the company;
    Defended are the departments that make up a company and the type of costs that each
one of them supports let's then analyze the document that serves as the basis for the cost analysis
What each department has to support and what its type or characteristic is. The document is named
Demonstration of Results by Functions, which as the name suggests presents the results that
each function or department of the company presents, that is, the difference between the revenues that
originates and costs that it supports.
    As main characteristics, we can affirm that the Income Statement by Functions is
a document prepared by management accounting, which is of utmost importance in
to the extent that it allows an analytical and functional view of the company based on each of the
departments that compose it.
    In conclusion, the great difference and at the same time the virtue of this document compared to the others

for management accounting.
    First, because as previously mentioned, since management accounting is a
cost accounting, this document allows the company to obtain the costs it has to bear
and likewise, if it is possible to accurately define its type and origin, that is, which department
or function of the company that originated.
                                                                                                                  11
3 - THE COMPONENTS OF PRODUCTION COST
     To begin this chapter, we will start with two concepts presented in the chapter.
previous: the concept of cost and the definition of a company's production function and its objectives.
     As we refer to it, cost is a sacrifice of resources in order to achieve a specific objective. In
The specific case of the production function will basically be the equipment that the company had to
acquire the labor you hired, the raw materials and necessary supplies for the manufacturing of a
determined product. Beyond the function of producing, it is the responsibility of a company's production to fulfill another
set of tasks that will be, as we saw before, the planning and control of production, the
quality control, procurement and inventory management of raw materials and subsidiaries.
     One of the objectives of management accounting is the detailed determination of the costs incurred by
company and by the departments. In the case of the production function, the main objective that accounting
management will have to achieve is to determine the production cost of a certain product or
service.
     For the determination of this production cost and subsequently in a more complete manner of
The final cost of the product is usually viewed from the perspective of the product in which various states are distinguished.
     When we talk about production or industrial costs, we must include all production costs or
industrial. This type of cost includes all those that are necessary for us to produce or
to manufacture a certain product from the entry of raw materials into the production line until the final product is obtained
of the finished product. As examples, we will first have raw materials and labor.
In addition to these, we consider all the set of subsidiary subjects necessary for production where
we can include electricity, water, and a whole set of other costs that we may
consider secondary but at the same time essential for the production of our good.
     When analyzing the components of production cost, we can further subdivide them into two types:
        Direct materials cost + direct labor cost = Prime Cost
        Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead = Conversion cost
     As for the comprehensive cost, it refers to the phase in which we have our good produced but
to which we still have to allocate a set of costs that do not directly relate to the phase of
production of the same but which the company has to support for the production and placement of
well at the points of sale next to the customer is possible. This type of cost relates to the costs of
distribution, administrative and financial, specifically costs from other departments of the company not
directly related to the production department.
                                                                                                                                 12
    In summary, the comprehensive cost will be the sum of the production cost and the distribution costs.
administrative and financial.
    In a more technical manner and from a financial perspective, the comprehensive cost will be equivalent to the price.
                                                                                                                           13
4 - THE DETERMINATION OF PRODUCTION COST
    All components of the production cost of a product are defined and are
basically the cost of consumed materials (DM), direct labor costs and expenses
In manufacturing, the determination of production cost basically results from the sum of these three.
components.
    The work to be carried out by management accounting will be the precise determination of the costs of each
one of these components is the part that contributes to the cost of production.
    Having executed this work, management accounting will present its results through
documents that will serve for analysis and decision-making for the management bodies of the company.
    Next, we will analyze and indicate the various items that allow us to identify this cost of
production as well as the documents where they are included.
    As we referred to in chapter nº 2 during the study of the Income Statement by Functions,
operational block The Operational Block presents the report of the revenues and costs of the main operations
of the company, which includes items 1 to 6 and is reflected in the achievement of the operating result. The
production function is one of the main functions and has an operational character. The cost of
The production of a certain product is reflected in item no. 2 of the Statement of
results Functions where the is precisely Cost of production.
    To obtain the comprehensive cost from the income statement by functions, we will have to
sum items nº 2, 5, 6, 9 and 11 where to the cost of sales and services rendered we will add
The Distribution Costs and the Financial and Administrative Costs.
    Once again, the importance of D.R. by functions stands out, as it allows us to obtain the cost of
product in various states according to the cost perspective mentioned in the previous chapter.
                                                                                                                 14
5 - ACCOUNTING ORGANIZATION (ACCOUNTING SYSTEM)
    So that the information obtained both by general accounting and by management accounting can
to be analyzed and serve as a term of comparison between different stages of time and various types of
it is necessary to establish an organization for the way information is handled and
produced and finally transmitted abroad.
    We call this type of organization Accounting Organization or Accounting System.
    For better understanding, we will next present the accounting system for both.
types of accounting analyzed nevertheless:
       Financial or General Accounting
       Management or Cost Accounting
    Regarding Financial or General Accounting, the main instrument of guidance and
organization is the Chart of Accounts that is officially designated and described in the Official Plan of
Accounting, abbreviated as POC. This is the plan that is referenced here.
accounting system to be used by all economic agents in the execution and organization of their
accounting. This document also refers to the models and types of documents that
they serve as a record for accounting, in this specific case the record books (Journals, Ledger,
Trial balances, IT), and finally to the tax-approved Financial Statements, which will be the
compilation and analysis documents of all accounting information of a given entity.
    In a more detailed analysis, the Chart of Accounts (POC - Official Accounting Plan) organizes the
classification system of the operations of a certain company according to a framework or code
of accounts that is presented next:
Chart of Accounts
                                     Classes                          Denomination
    The record books (Journals, Ledgers, Trial Balances, IT) are the documentary support in paper
or computer scientist of the documents resulting from the company's activity as well as their classification of
agreement with the POC and with the chart of accounts indicated therein.
                                                                                                                  15
    Finally, the Financial Statements aim to provide information about the
financial position, the achievement and changes in the financial position of the company that is useful to
a wide range of users in order to enable him to make financial and economic decisions
according to the definition of the IASC, the official international body that regulates accounting guidelines.
    The most common financial statements are:
       Balance;
       Income Statement by Nature;
       Results Demonstration by Functions;
    The type of information obtained from these documents is quite distinct. In the Balance
we obtain a property information of the company, of all the assets it owns as well as of the credits and
debts held, and static since it refers solely to a specific date, that is, the end of
each economic exercise;
    In the Income Statement by Nature, the information has an economic and dynamic character,
as it reflects the company's performance over a certain period
economic. Provides decision-makers with detailed information on profitable performance
from the company, it measures the success of operations for a given period (profit/loss) and allows for extraction of the
                                                                                                                            16
      1st - There are cost and revenue accounts in general accounting in a first phase of recording;
      2nd - Costs and revenues are recorded against the financial accounts, there are no
accounts of classes 6 and 7;
      It is noteworthy that within the context of the current accounting legislation in our country it will be

      As for the accounting system used by management accounting, it is presented in
following a description of the chart of accounts indicated by the POC as well as the subdivisions of the accounts and
what are your functions and types of costs that can be included in them.

conducted at the end of the session of this chapter, which is attached to this training manual, where
the graduates will be better able to understand its functioning.
       In conclusion, management accounting, although it has its own accounting system, needs to
always rely on the accounting system of general or financial accounts as a basis for information

6 - MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING AND DECISION MAKING
     Management accounting is a discipline with a technical character and specifically oriented towards the
analytical determination of the costs incurred by the company, with the purpose of providing information
to the decision-makers of the companies.
     As can be inferred from the previously presented definition, the company's costs are the object.
principle of management accounting analysis. Based on this information top, the bodies
decision-makers guide your decision-making, primarily analyzing the impact of current costs or
futures in which they may engage in the activity, evolution, and development of the company.
     As we mentioned earlier, the cost is a sacrifice of resources aimed at achieving a specific goal.
goal. The main and largest objective of any company will be profit, that is, the difference between the
market price of your product and the cost of that same product. From a technical point of view and
financial profit will be an increase in funds/capital that the company has to finance its assets and
to repay the capital invested in it, in short, the creation of added value. In this way, the majority
the decisions to be made by the company's decision-making bodies will have as their main objective the enhancement
of profit.
     The decision is made based on several possible alternatives by choosing the alternative in which the
sum of freed means for superior. When analyzing the options, the decision-maker faces two types
of decisions. An alternative that consists of changing the situation under analysis or
the one in which the maintenance of the current situation is presented (reference alternative).
     When analyzing the various possible alternatives, the decision-maker faces several types of object costs.
from your analysis.
Costs represent negative cash flows, outflows of monetary resources or others from which the
the company provides and for the purpose of making a decision can assume three types:
        Differential Costs = Difference between current costs and the new alternative;
        Irrelevant costs: fixed costs, are not important in decision making (costs
             administrative costs incurred in the past;
        Opportunity cost: alternatives for the application of resources and their respective yields
             associated;
     With the possession of these types of costs, what is their value and what impact does each of them have and regarding
the alternatives presented to them allow the manager to develop their strategy in a safer manner
decision.
     Another important factor in decision making is the cost/volume relationship.
     The volume can be measured by the amount of time period, the number of units
produced or the number of hours worked (components of the cost of production).
     Costs can exhibit two types of behavior in relation to volume: fixed costs or
variable costs.
     The main characteristics of fixed costs are:
                                                                                                                             20
       They do not vary with the volume;
       Provide the company's ability to produce and sell its products;
       Cost capacity:
         Physics (buildings, equipment, etc.)
         Organizational (company frames)
         Financial (financial resources)
    All these costs remain unchanged with volume variations, whether in number of
units produced or by the number of hours worked.
    Variable costs show a similar behavior.
    Variable Costs:
          They vary when the volume increases or decreases;
       They result from the use of the capacity to produce and sell the products;
As an example, we can refer to electrical energy, labor, or sales commissions.
    Variable costs also have another type of characteristics. Thus, they can be:
       Proportional to the volume as is the case with raw materials;
       Progressives increase proportionally based on volume, sales commissions:
       They decrease as the volume increases;
    In summary, variable costs necessarily change with variations in volume.
    The interest in this distinction allows for detailed information on various factors that
company. The two most important are first of all allows us to conduct a comparative analysis
between the way of utilizing installed capacity vs number of units produced, that is, it allows
check what the utilization and profitability we are getting from the equipment we have
our availability based on the total volume of production carried out.
    Secondly, it allows for an analysis of the break-even point in sales. The break-even point is equal to
number of units to sell to cover fixed costs, the point at which the company will neither make a profit nor
loss, that is, when the selling price of the product is equal to the cost of the product.
    To obtain this indicator, we will take into account the Complex Cost that is obtained from
sum of the product cost with the fixed costs.
    In the product valuation method, there are still two types of criteria. Total Costing and Costing
Variable. In Total Costing, the cost of our product includes Fixed Costs and Variable Costs, such as the
such as Direct Materials, Labor, Manufacturing overhead, and all fixed costs of the company
inputs per unit of product produced.
    In Variable Costing, the cost of the product only includes Variable Costs: Direct Materials,
Labor and manufacturing overhead costs. Fixed costs are considered costs of the period to which they belong.
reports the clarification of the results, not being directly attributed to our product.
    In the second part of this chapter we will analyze the ways to obtain the necessary information for the
our decisions and how to interpret this information. Next, we present the calculation method of
break-even point of sales. As a starting point, let's consider the calculation of operating results
from the company (R), which will be the difference between revenues and costs.
                                                                                                               21
                                                       R=P-C
R = RESULTS
P = REVENUES
COSTS
In a more detailed way, we will have that our result (R) will be:
R = pv * Q - c * Q
At the critical sales point, the main objective will be to calculate the value of the portion of the total costs.
is composed of fixed costs.
R = pv * Q - Cf - Cv * Q
As a final result, we want to achieve a sales volume for a result equal to zero.
0 = pv * Qx - Cf - Cv * Qx
Qx = Cf / (pv – Cv)
Qx = quantity needed to produce and sell for revenues to equal costs, there is no
neither profit nor loss.
We can also calculate the Critical Point of sales in value, with the following calculation formula:
Vx = pv * Qx
Vx = Cf / (1 - (Cv / pv)
                                                                                                                    22
financial perspective reveals itself as more important in a company, the costs it has to bear and the
its nature. Management accounting allows us a more detailed study insofar as
can perform the separation of fixed costs and variable costs, the organization and division of
costs and its type by sections or departments.
    For any decision-making element in a company, it will be vitally important for me at the time.
when deciding, take the following elements into account:
      Costs;
      Types and classification of costs;
      Valuation of the product cost;
      Future profitability of our decisions in relation to the set of alternatives;
      Final impact on the balance, continuity, and growth of the company;
                                                                                                        23
7 - BUDGET MANAGEMENT (PLANNING AND BUDGETS)
    Management is characterized, as we referred to and analyzed earlier, by a complexity and at the same time
useful time enormous in the increasingly global and competitive context in which companies operate
found inserted.
    The functions of management are basically four: planning, organizing, motivation, and coordination.
and the control.
    Budget management is one of the disciplines of management and is an important working tool and
analysis fundamentally contemplates two management functions, planning and controlling.
    The definition of these two concepts will be the starting point for the study of budget management. As
planning we can define the process of analyzing all the elements that make up the company
(humans, materials, financial), the economic and social context in which it is inserted and the evolution that occurs
can foresee, set the course to follow by defining the general policy to observe and the objectives to achieve, for the
company in general and for each department that is part of it. Regarding control, it will be the
process of verifying whether the objectives and goals initially defined in the planning phase are
to be fulfilled.
    These two functions complement each other. The control will ensure compliance with all of the
objectives set in the planning while it will process the deviations that the function of
control may eventually come to detect.
    Budget management is the combination of the actions of these two functions. Budget management will be
type of management characterized by systematically planning the activities to be developed by the
company and in which planning translates in the short term into the existence of the annual budget, which sets
to each manager in quantities, values, and deadlines the means to be used and the profits or operations to
to carry out, periodically comparing the objectives with the achievements.
    To achieve the objectives and responsibilities assigned to them, budget management has
the following set of tools is available:
       Plans (medium term, strategic and annual);
       Annual Budget (annual plan)
       Budget Control
    The joint use of these tools provides an information system whose main component is
the budget.
    The budget is the quantitative expression of an action plan, constituting an important
coordination and action instrument. Operating within a normally defined time frame of one year,
The main document to be prepared by the budget management will be the annual budget.
    The main characteristics of the Annual Budget are:
       Set of programs and budgets developed to frame the activities of a
         company in a certain year;
       Define the operations to be performed and the resources to be used;
                                                                                                                         24
      Financial flows and situations;
      Organized by months for quicker and more effective control;
    This document reflects all the planned activities of a company.
organized according to the departments present in it, the resources available, and the objectives
that will have to be achieved.
    When analyzing the structure of the annual budget, it is composed of a set of budgets.
organized for each of the company's departments and divided into two groups: the
operational budgets, directly related to the main and operational activity of
company, and the global budgets that are the maps where the analysis is carried out on the entirety of
company departments.
The Operational Budgets are:
      Production
      Sales
      Activities
The Global Budgets are:
      Treasury
      Financial
      Demonstration of results
      Provisional balance
Next, we present the budgets that typically are part of the annual budget of a
company and what its specific functions are:
      Sales: predicts the value of sales to be made;
      Cost of Sales: records the expected cost of the products that are estimated to be sold in the budget
        previous
      Production costs: estimates the cost of the products to be sold;
Purchases: quantities of the various materials to be acquired and their respective costs;
      Non-industrial costs: estimates the costs of the commercial administrative sections and the costs
        financial
      Other costs and benefits: all those not classified under the previous ones;
    When we analyze all these budgets together, we see that the importance of the budget
annual goes through:
                                                                                                             25
      Planning and setting objectives;
      Performance evaluation;
      Communication, motivation, and decentralization;
Analyzed the function of planning, we move on to the study of the second function of budget management, the
Budget Control.
    It is up to budget control to assess the company's performance and compare it with the
initially planned and budgeted and the actual, reporting to the management bodies for corrective measures;
    The operational process of budget control is represented by the following scheme:
    The analysis of the actual and the initially budgeted may in some cases not correspond.
from this difference, between the actual and the budgeted, one of the most important concepts of control is born
budgetary: the deviation.
    The deviation can take several forms:
      Volume deviation:
      Efficiency deviation;
      Price deviation:
      Mix deviation (impact resulting from the non-observance of the estimated composition for the element
        budget under review e.g.: Labor, sales;
All these types have a quantitative correspondence that will be subject to correction and analysis by
part of the company's management bodies.
                                                                                                                       26
As main conclusions of the study of budget management, we have to:
      Provides medium and long-term qualitative information;
      It is an important basis for decision-making and tracking the evolution of the company;
                                                                                                27
