    Management accounting is the process of analyzing, interpreting, and presenting financial statements to assist managers in decision making, policy creation, and day-to-day operations. It involves detailed reports, subjective data, interim reports that compare actual performance to plans, and special purpose financial statements intended for internal users. Financial accounting generates general purpose financial statements following accounting principles for external users and involves objective data covering a single accounting period. The key difference is that management accounting provides information to help managers while financial accounting provides standardized reports for external stakeholders.
