Managerial Accounting

Managerial accounting involves preparing internal financial reports to support decision-making by managers. Unlike financial accounting, which targets external stakeholders, managerial reports focus on budgeting, forecasting, cost analysis, and performance tracking. It helps businesses plan operations, control costs, and improve overall strategic and day-to-day management.
