Management accounting
{{complex|date=September 2011}}
'''Management accounting''' or '''managerial accounting''' gives [[accounting]] information to managers within organizations, to provide them with the basis to make informed business decisions that will allow them to be better equipped in their management and control functions.{{citation needed}}

In contrast to [[financial accountancy]] information, management accounting information is:
* primarily forward-looking, instead of historical;
* model based with a degree of abstraction to support decision making generically, instead of case based;
* designed and intended for use by managers within the organization, instead of being intended for use by shareholders, creditors, and public regulators;
* usually confidential and used by management, instead of publicly reported;
