Randel Ochoa was informed that he got promoted to a new position in their company. He was pleased but
uncomfortable because he is not well-versed about budget reports and financial projections, as well as in
planning and performance evaluation, which will be part of his main tasks. He is planning to take a course in
accounting to be able to do the tasks that will be assigned to him. Meanwhile, he asked you, as the company’s
cost accountant, to state five (5) principal distinctions between financial and management accounting. Prepare
your response to Randel.
In the My Decision box, write down which field of accounting will be more useful in Randel’s new position.

Management Accounting Financial Accounting

 The purpose of Managerial Accounting is for the
insiders. It focusses on measuring the expenses and cash
flows carrying the flow of controlling, planning and
decision making.
 Managerial Accounting focuses of the reports on
sections.
 It also the type to reports management such as
budgeting, financial and costing.
 Managerial has its own standards and options, they
create they own rules while producing information that
is relevant.
 It covered any reports and period as the management
required.
 If the managerial is insiders, then the financial
accounting is outsiders’ users providing information
about the financial performance and organization
finance.
 They focus on the business itself.
 It required financial statements.
 To prevent the insiders from meddling to outsiders.
 It usually covers the year, quarter, or month

My Decision

-Based on Randel problem is more on financial performance it wasn’t mentioned on his performance, he only thinks that
generating a profit not entirely the system of how the company works. Since I the accountant would advise him to still study even just
brief of Managerial hence can create more understanding statements internal and external that will share to the stakeholders and the
public. Being a financial accountant is focused to understand proper value of company assets. Therefore, can make Randel work more
efficiently.
