WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
COST, MANAGEMENT ,
AND FINANCIAL
ACCOUNTING?
ACCOUNTINGASSIGNMENT
Income, expenditure, taxes, debt, credit, profit, loss, and all the other terms related to monetary transitions
come to our mind when we think of accounting. The requirement of knowledge of several terms unable to
solve assignments for students that comprise complex and tricky questions. There are various topics such as -
billing, taxation, journal, ledger and trial balance, bill of exchange, etc. on which academic tasks are based and
the above-noted terms are used. Studying accounting inflates our horizon of knowledge and helps us to hone
our analytical and rational skills.
As per the question raised I am going to explain the difference between different branches of accounting. And
will also let you know, who can be your best pal when you need accounting assignment help.Accounting is a
branch of knowledge that deals with investments, monetary management, income, expenses and all the other
tools required to keep the firm financially strong so that it can achieve its goals. It is a versatile area that keeps
on changing according to the needs of industries. As the world is becoming economically and technologically
strong the demand for accounting is elevating day by day.
This demand arises from the necessity of different types of accounting. These branches are - Financial
Accounting, Cost Accounting, and Management Accounting.
Financial Accounting 01
KEYPOINT
This branch of accounting informs about the
financial situation and activities of an
organisation. Financial accounting reflects
the financial outcomes of the firm for a
specific accounting period and ascertains
the positions of liabilities and assets at
the end of the accounting period.
Cost Accounting 02
KEYPOINT
The cost incurred in the production or
manufacturing unit of a firm is studied under
cost accounting. It helps in determining the
cost of products, ways to control them and
making decisions. It is the sub-set of
management accounting as it gives a compact
view of products, services, and processes.
Management Accounting 03
KEYPOINT
It is a part of accounting that deals with
the process of gathering, examining, and
understanding the financial statements,
qualitative and statistical that shows how
business is running and the upcoming
opportunities and threats.
