ial results of its activities. It has often been referred to as the language of business. The vocabulary

5. Accounting is subdivided into two major areas: managerial accounting and financial accounting.

Managerial accounting relates to generating any financial information that managers can use to i
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
mprove the future results of the organization. This includes techniques designed to generate any fi
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
nancial data that might help managers make more effective decisions. Major aspects of managerial
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq q
w
accounting relate to making financial plans for the organization, implementing those plans, and the
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
nworking to ensure that the plans are achieved. Some examples of managerial accounting include
q
w wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
preparing annual operating budgets, generating information for use in making major investment d
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
ecisions, and providing the data needed to decide whether to buy or lease a major piece of equip
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
ment. Financial accounting provides retrospective information. As events that have financial impli
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
cations occur they are recorded by the financial accounting system. From time to time (usuallymont
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq q

hly, quarterly, or annually), the recorded data are summarized and reported to interested users.Th

e users include both internal managers and people outside the organization. Those outsiders inclu
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
de those who have lent or might lend money to the organization (creditors), those who might sell t

hings to the organization (called suppliers or vendors), and other interested parties. These interest
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
ed parties may include those with a particular interest in public service organizations, such asregula

btaining funds when needed from appropriate sources and the deployment of resources within th
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
eorganization fall under this heading. In addition, finance involves the financial markets (such as st

ock and bond markets) that provide a means to generating funds for organizations.

rovides information for managers to use in making their decisions. It helps managers by providing
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq w
information on the likely financial impact of each proposed alternative. It also provides informatio

8. Clearly, we might expect some public service organizations that are proprietary, such as some h
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq
ospitals, to earn profits. But what about other public service organizations such as charities? Theys
wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq wq q

hould make a profit as well. Profits provide a safety margin against unexpected costs, provide reso

urces to replace buildings and equipment, and to expand and improve services.
