Management Accounting

About us

Management accountants prepare specific reports to be used by decision-makers within the enterprise and to make these reports management depends on cost information and the provision thereof in a format that is the most effective for decision-making. 

A sub-division of managment accounting is cost accounting which is the process of compiling the costs of producing certain products, providing certain services or undertaking certain activities.

Management accountants use historical information as a starting point for the estimation of future costs and income.
