3 The Difference Between Managerial and Financial Accounting
1 The Difference Between Managerial and Financial Accounting Financial accounting information is reported at fixed intervals in general-purpose financial statements. These financial statements are prepared according to GAAP.

1 Managerial Accounting Managerial accounting information is designed to meet the specific needs of a company’s management, such as historical data and subjective estimates about future decisions.

5 1 Planning Management uses planning in developing the company’s objectives (goals) and translating these objectives into courses of action.

6 1 Strategic Planning Strategic planning is developing long-range actions to achieve the company’s objectives. Long-range courses of action, called strategies, can often involve periods ranging from five to ten years.

7 1 Operational planning develops short-term actions for managing the day-to-day operations of the company. The process by which managers run day-to-day operations is called directing.

8 1 Controlling Monitoring operating results and comparing actual results with the expected results is controlling. This feedback allows management to isolate areas for further investigation and possible remedial action.

9 1 Improving Continuous process improvement is the philosophy of continually improving employees, business processes, and products.

10 1 Decision Making Inherent in each of the preceding management processes is decision making. Management must continually decide among alternative actions.

2 Direct and Indirect Costs Costs are often classified in terms of how they relate to an object or segment of operations, called a cost object. It may be a product, a sales territory, a department, or some activity. Direct costs are identified with and can be traced to a cost object. Indirect costs cannot be identified with or traced to a cost object.

14 2 A production supervisor’s salary is an indirect cost because it cannot be traced to any individual guitar.

19 Prime Costs and Conversion Costs
2 Prime Costs and Conversion Costs Prime costs consist of direct materials and direct labor costs. Conversion costs consist of direct labor and factory overhead. Conversion costs are the costs of converting the materials into a finish product.
