THE ROLE OF MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING IN THE MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: The process of accounting is in charge with identifying, measuring and communicating economic information in order to allow its users to make the correct decisions and judgments. First of all, it is important to distinguish between the two branches of accounting: managerial accounting, which deals with internal users of accounting information, and financial accounting, which provides information to external users.
