Nature of the reports produced. Financial accounting reports tend to be general purpose. That is,
they contain financial information that will be useful for a broad range of users and decisions
rather than being specifically designed for the needs of a particular group or set of decisions.
Management accounting reports, on the other hand, are often for a specific purpose. They are
designed either with a particular decision in mind or for a particular manager. Level of detail.
Financial reports provide users with a broad overview of the performance and position of the
business for a period. As a result, information is aggregated and detail is often lost. Management
accounting reports, however, often provide managers with considerable detail to help them with
a particular operational decision. Regulations. Financial reports, for many businesses, are
subject to accounting regulations that try to ensure they are produced with standard content and
in a standard format. Law and accounting rule setters impose these regulations. Since
management accounting reports are for internal use only, there are no regulations from external
sources concerning the form and content of the reports. They can be designed to meet the needs
of particular managers. Reporting interval. For most businesses, financial accounting reports are
produced on an annual basis, though many large businesses produce half-yearly reports and a
few produce quarterly ones. Management accounting reports may be produced as frequently as
required by managers. In many businesses, managers are provided with certain reports on a
monthly, weekly or even daily basis, which allows them to check progress frequently. In
addition, special-purpose reports will be prepared when required (for example, to evaluate a
proposal to purchase a piece of machinery). Time horizon. Financial reports reflect the
performance and position of the business for the past period. In essence, they are backward
looking. Management accounting reports, on the other hand, often provide information
concerning future performance as well as past performance. It is an oversimplification, however,
to suggest that financial accounting reports never incorporate expectations concerning the future.
Occasionally, businesses will release projected information to other users in an attempt to raise
capital or to fight off unwanted takeover bids. Range and quality of information. Financial
accounting reports concentrate on information that can be quantified in monetary terms.
Management accounting also produces such reports, but is also more likely to produce reports
that contain information of a non-financial nature such as measures of physical quantities of
inventories (stocks) and output. Financial accounting places greater emphasis on the use of
objective, verifiable evidence when preparing reports. Management accounting reports may use
information that is less objective and verifiable, but they provide managers with the information
they need.

Nature of the reports produced. Financial accounting reports tend to.pdf

  • 1. Nature of the reports produced. Financial accounting reports tend to be general purpose. That is, they contain financial information that will be useful for a broad range of users and decisions rather than being specifically designed for the needs of a particular group or set of decisions. Management accounting reports, on the other hand, are often for a specific purpose. They are designed either with a particular decision in mind or for a particular manager. Level of detail. Financial reports provide users with a broad overview of the performance and position of the business for a period. As a result, information is aggregated and detail is often lost. Management accounting reports, however, often provide managers with considerable detail to help them with a particular operational decision. Regulations. Financial reports, for many businesses, are subject to accounting regulations that try to ensure they are produced with standard content and in a standard format. Law and accounting rule setters impose these regulations. Since management accounting reports are for internal use only, there are no regulations from external sources concerning the form and content of the reports. They can be designed to meet the needs of particular managers. Reporting interval. For most businesses, financial accounting reports are produced on an annual basis, though many large businesses produce half-yearly reports and a few produce quarterly ones. Management accounting reports may be produced as frequently as required by managers. In many businesses, managers are provided with certain reports on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis, which allows them to check progress frequently. In addition, special-purpose reports will be prepared when required (for example, to evaluate a proposal to purchase a piece of machinery). Time horizon. Financial reports reflect the performance and position of the business for the past period. In essence, they are backward looking. Management accounting reports, on the other hand, often provide information concerning future performance as well as past performance. It is an oversimplification, however, to suggest that financial accounting reports never incorporate expectations concerning the future. Occasionally, businesses will release projected information to other users in an attempt to raise capital or to fight off unwanted takeover bids. Range and quality of information. Financial accounting reports concentrate on information that can be quantified in monetary terms. Management accounting also produces such reports, but is also more likely to produce reports that contain information of a non-financial nature such as measures of physical quantities of inventories (stocks) and output. Financial accounting places greater emphasis on the use of objective, verifiable evidence when preparing reports. Management accounting reports may use information that is less objective and verifiable, but they provide managers with the information they need. Solution Nature of the reports produced.
