In business, the function of making decisions usually falls in the hands of managers. Any decision they make can have significant impact on whether or not the venture will meet its goals. Due to this, it is imperative for managers to rely on accurate information before making decisions, especially when it concerns the finance of the business. That is the area where management accounting can help.
Management accounting involves collecting, monitoring, analysing, and interpreting valuable information about a business to allow managers make informed judgements and decisions.
