+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
ancial results of its activities. It has often been referred to as the language of business. The voc

abulary used by accounting is the language of nonbusiness organizations as well.

5. Accounting is subdivided into two major areas: managerial accounting and financial accounti
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
ng. Managerial accounting relates to generating any financial information that managers can us
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
e to improve the future results of the organization. This includes techniques designed to genera
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
te any financial data that might help managers make more effective decisions. Major aspects of
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
managerialaccounting relate to making financial plans for the organization, implementing those pl
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
ans, and thenworking to ensure that the plans are achieved. Some examples of managerial acco
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
unting include preparing annual operating budgets, generating information for use in making m
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
ajor investment decisions, and providing the data needed to decide whether to buy or lease a
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
major piece of equipment. Financial accounting provides retrospective information. As events th
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r
at have financial implications occur they are recorded by the financial accounting system. From ti
+r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r +r

8. Clearly, we might expect some public service organizations that are proprietary, such as som
