Management accounting provides managers with qualitative and quantitative financial and operational data to help plan, monitor, and improve the performance of a business. It draws from various accounting disciplines like finance, costing, forecasting and budgeting, taxation, and reporting to analyze data, interpret trends, and support decision making. The scope of management accounting is broad, as it aims to provide both financial and non-financial information on all aspects of a business to aid management control and inform future-oriented planning.
