Management accounting is presented internally, whereas financial accounting is meant for external stakeholders. Although financial management is of great importance to current and potential investors, management accounting is necessary for managers to make current and future financial decisions. Financial accounting is precise and must adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), but management accounting is often more of a guess or estimate, since most managers do not have time for exact numbers when a decision needs to be made.
thanks for the invitation as experts already answered this question.
Usually Financial accounting concern is the company's regular financial statements (Financial position, Income Statement, Statement of cash flows, and statement of canges in equity). These statements could be required for insders or outsiders like vendoers , bankers and other creditors , or potential investors who might be interested in measuring the company's performance and financial strength. Financial accounting is based on the company's historical records.
Whereas management accounting works on both historical and forecasted data to provide future projection. Management (managerial accounting) focus is providing useful reporting to the company's management. Management accounting reports would be created for the internal use within the company and for the benefit of the decision making process.
Financial accounting is the process of reporting the results and effects of the financial transactions that a business undertakes. The objective of financial reporting is to provide financial information about the entity that is useful for decision-making. Those using the financial information to make decisions include present and potential equity investors, lenders, and other creditors who need to make decisions about providing resources to the entity. The decisions relate to buying, selling, or holding debt or equity instruments and providing credit. In order to make these decisions, investors, lenders and other creditors need information that will help them assess the amount of, timing of, and prospects for future net cash inflows to the entity.
Managerial accounting is the process of identifying, measuring, analyzing, interpreting and communicating information for the pursuit of an organization's goals
The user of Manegerial accountant are internal only but the users of financial accounting are internal and ecternals.
A common question is to explain the differences between financial accounting and managerial accounting, since each one involves a distinctly different career path. In general, financial accounting refers to the aggregation of accounting information into financial statements, while managerial accounting refers to the internal processes used to account for business transactions.
There are a number of differences between financial and managerial accounting, which fall into the following categories:
There is also a difference in the accounting certifications typically found in each of these areas. People with the Certified Public Accountant designation have been trained in financial accounting, while those with the Certified Management Accountant designation have been trained in managerial accounting.
Pay levels tend to be higher in the area of financial accounting and somewhat lower for managerial accounting, perhaps because there is a perception that more training is required to be fully conversant in financial accounting.
I have already explained the point in another question. The same is reproduced here:
Principal users:
Financial accounts- External. i.e Shareholders, Government, Lenders etc.
Management accounts- Internal. i.e management
Basic purpose:
Financial accounts- To present a view of business's financial performance during an accounting period and financial position at a specific point of time.
Management accounts- Measuring and controlling

Managerial accounting produces information that is used within an organization, by managers and employees.
