Management accounting 
 Management accounting or managerial accounting gives accounting information to managers within organizations, to provide them with the basis to make informed business decisions that will allow them to be better equipped in their management and control functions.
Management accounting 
 model based with a degree of abstraction to support decision making generically, instead of case based;
Management accounting 
 designed and intended for use by managers within the organization, instead of being intended for use by shareholders, creditors, and public regulators;
Management accounting 
 computed by reference to the needs of managers, often using management information systems, instead of by reference to general financial accounting standards.
Management accounting 
 The Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) recently updated its definition as follows: "management accounting is a profession that involves partnering in management decision making, devising planning and performance management systems,and providing expertise in financial reporting and control to assist management in the formulation and implementation of an organization’s strategy".
Management accounting 
 The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) states that management accounting as practice extends to the following three areas:
Management accounting 
 Strategic Management—Advancing the role of the management accountant as a strategic partner in the organization.
Management accounting 
 Performance Management—Developing the practice of business decision-making and managing the performance of the organization.
Management accounting 
 Risk Management—Contributing to frameworks and practices for identifying, measuring, managing and reporting risks to the achievement of the objectives of the organization.
Management accounting 
 The Institute of Certified Management Accountants (ICMA), states "A management accountant applies his or her professional knowledge and skill in the preparation and presentation of financial and other decision oriented information in such a way as to assist management in the formulation of policies and in the planning and control of the operation of the undertaking".
Management accounting 
 They are much more interested in forward looking and taking decisions that will affect the future of the organization, than in the historical recording and compliance (score keeping) aspects of the profession.
Management accounting 
 Management accounting knowledge and experience can therefore be obtained from varied fields and functions within an organization, such as information management, treasury, efficiency auditing, marketing, valuation, pricing, logistics, etc.
Management accounting 
 The distinction between ‘traditional’ and ‘innovative’ accounting practices is perhaps best illustrated with the visual timeline (see sidebar) of managerial costing approaches presented at the Institute of Management Accountants 2011 Annual Conference.
Management accounting 
 Traditional Standard Costing (TSC), used in Cost Accounting dates back to the 1920’s and is a central method in management accounting practiced today because it is used for financial statement reporting for the valuation of Income Statement and Balance Sheet line items such as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and Inventory valuation.
Management accounting 
 Traditional Standard Costing must comply with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP US) and actually aligns itself more with answering Financial Accounting requirements rather than providing solutions for management accountants.
Management accounting 
 Traditional approaches limit themselves by defining cost behavior only in terms of production or sales volume.
Management accounting 
 In the late 1980s, accounting practitioners and educators were heavily criticized on the grounds that management accounting practices (and, even more so, the curriculum taught to accounting students) had changed little over the preceding 60 years, despite radical changes in the business environment.
Management accounting 
 In 1993, the Accounting Education Change Commission Statement Number 4 calls for faculty members to come down from their ivory towers and expand their knowledge about the actual practice of accounting in the workplace.
Management accounting 
 Professional accounting institutes, perhaps fearing that management accountants would increasingly be seen as superfluous in business organizations, subsequently devoted considerable resources to the development of a more innovative skills set for management accountants.
Management accounting 
 Variance analysis, which is a systematic approach to the comparison of the actual and budgeted costs of the raw materials and labor used during a production period.
Management accounting 
 While some form of variance analysis is still used by most manufacturing firms, it nowadays tends to be used in conjunction with innovative techniques such as life cycle cost analysis and activity-based costing, which are designed with specific aspects of the modern business environment in mind.
Management accounting 
 Life-cycle costing recognizes that managers’ ability to influence the cost of manufacturing a product is at its greatest when the product is still at the design stage of its product life-cycle (i.e., before the design has been finalized and production commenced), since small changes to the product design may lead to significant savings in the cost of manufacturing the products.
Management accounting 
 Activity-based costing (ABC) recognizes that, in modern factories, most manufacturing costs are determined by the amount of ‘activities’ (such as the number of production runs per month, and the amount of production equipment idle time).
Management accounting 
 Both lifecycle costing and activity-based costing recognize that, in the typical modern factory, the avoidance of disruptive events (such as machine breakdowns and quality control failures) is of far greater importance than (for example) reducing the costs of raw materials.
Management accounting 
 Activity-based costing also focuses less on direct labor as a cost driver and looks instead on activities that drive costs, As the provision of a service or the production of a product component.
Management accounting 
 One of the more innovative accounting practices available today is Resource consumption accounting (RCA).
Management accounting 
 RCA has been recognized by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) as a “sophisticated approach at the upper levels of the continuum of costing techniques” because it provides the ability to derive costs directly from operational resource data or to isolate and measure unused capacity costs.
Management accounting 
 RCA started by taking the best costing characteristics of the German management accounting approach Grenzplankostenrechnung (GPK), and combining the use of activity-based drivers when needed, such as those used in Activity-based costing.
Management accounting 
 With the RCA approach, resources and their costs are considered as “foundational to robust cost modeling and managerial decision support, because an organization’s costs and revenues are all a function of the resources and the individual capacities that produce them”.
Management accounting 
 Management accountants are a strategic partner and provider of decision based financial and operational information.
Management accounting 
 Management accountants are responsible for managing the business team and at the same time having to report relationships and responsibilities to the corporation's finance organization.
Management accounting 
 The activities management accountants provide inclusive of forecasting and planning, performing variance analysis, reviewing and monitoring costs inherent in the business are ones that have dual accountability to both finance and the business team.
Management accounting 
 Examples of tasks where accountability may be more meaningful to the business management team vs. the corporate finance department are the development of new product costing, operations research, business driver metrics, sales management scorecarding, and client profitability analysis.
Management accounting 
 Conversely, the preparation of certain financial reports, reconciliations of the financial data to source systems, risk and regulatory reporting will be more useful to the corporate finance team as they are charged with aggregating certain financial information from all segments of the corporation.
Management accounting 
 Information technology (IT) costs are a significant source of uncontrollable spending in corporations that derive much of their profits from the information economy, such as banks, publishing houses, telecommunications companies and defence contractors.
Management accounting 
 Information technology costs are often the greatest corporate cost after total compensation costs and property related costs.
Management accounting 
 Management accounting in such organizations work closely with the IT department to provide IT Cost Transparency.
Management accounting 
 Given the above, one widely held view of the progression of the accounting and finance career path is that financial accounting is a stepping stone to management accounting.
Management accounting 
 Consistent with the notion of value creation, management accountants help drive the success of the business while strict financial accounting is more of a compliance and historical endeavor.
Management accounting 
 A very rarely expressed alternative view of management accounting is that it is neither a neutral or benign influence in organizations, rather a mechanism for management control through spying on workers (surveillance).
Management accounting 
 Stated differently, management accounting information is the mechanism which can be used by managers as a vehicle for the overview of the whole internal structure of the organization to help their control functions within an organization.
Management accounting 
 In the mid- to late-1990s several books were written about accounting in the lean enterprise (companies implementing elements of the Toyota Production System).
Management accounting 
 These books contest that traditional accounting methods are better suited for mass production and do not support or measure good business practices in just-in-time manufacturing and services.
Management accounting 
 320 individuals attended and discussed the merits of a new approach to accounting in the lean enterprise.
Management accounting 
 Resource Consumption Accounting (RCA) is formally defined as a dynamic, fully integrated, principle-based, and comprehensive management accounting approach that provides managers with decision support information for enterprise optimization.
Management accounting 
 RCA emerged as a management accounting approach around 2000 and was subsequently developed at CAM-I the Consortium for Advanced Manufacturing–International, in a Cost Management Section RCA interest group  in December 2001.
Management accounting 
 The most significant recent direction in managerial accounting is throughput accounting; which recognizes the interdependencies of modern production processes.
Management accounting 
 For any given product, customer or supplier, it is a tool to measure the contribution per unit of constrained resource.
Management accounting 
 Management accounting principles in banking are specialized but do have some common fundamental concepts used whether the industry is manufacturing based or service oriented.
Management accounting 
 It is a fundamental principle used in assigning value and revenue attribution to the various business units.
Management accounting 
 Essentially, transfer pricing in banking is the method of assigning the interest rate risk of the bank to the various funding sources and uses of the enterprise.
Management accounting 
 Thus, the bank's corporate treasury department will assign funding charges to the business units for their use of the bank's resources when they make loans to clients.
Management accounting 
 The treasury department will also assign funding credit to business units who bring in deposits (resources) to the bank.
Management accounting 
 Although the funds transfer pricing process is primarily applicable to the loans and deposits of the various banking units, this proactive is applied to all assets and liabilities of the business segment.
Management accounting 
 Once transfer pricing is applied and any other management accounting entries or adjustments are posted to the ledger (which are usually memo accounts and are not included in the legal entity results), the business units are able to produce segment financial results which are used by both internal and external users to evaluate performance.
Management accounting 
 There are a variety of ways to keep current and continue to build one's knowledge base in the field of management accounting.
Management accounting 
 Just as people who are Certified Public Accountants must take continuing education each year, Certified Management Accountants (CMAs) have a similar requirement.
Management accounting 
 A company may also have research and training materials available for use in a corporate owned library.
Management accounting 
 This is more common in "Fortune 500" companies who have the resources to fund this type of training.
Management accounting
