    Study Notes

    Chapter 11: Managerial Accounting

    • This chapter outlines managerial accounting, a field focused on providing economic and financial information for internal users, such as managers.
    • Managerial accounting differs from financial accounting, which focuses on external users like investors and creditors.
    • Managerial accounting reports are tailored to specific decisions and issued frequently as needed.
    • Financial accounting reports are general purpose and prepared for external users periodically (e.g., quarterly or annually).
    • Management functions include planning, directing, and controlling—maximizing profits and market share, coordinating resources, meeting objectives, and maintaining activities on track.
    • A typical organizational structure shows reporting relationships and delegation of authority.

    Learning Objective 1

    • Managerial accounting provides information for managers and other internal decision-makers.
    • Similarities to financial accounting include relying on economic events quantification and communication.
    • Differences include users, report types and frequency (internal vs. external), report purpose (special-purpose vs. general-purpose), report content (detailed data vs. aggregated), and reporting verification (no independent audits vs. audits by CPAs).
    • Key management functions include planning, directing, and controlling.

    Learning Objective 2

    • Manufacturing costs consist of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. These are the components needed to produce a product or service
    • Direct materials are raw materials or parts directly associated with the finished product.
    • Direct labor is the work by factory employees directly associated with creating the product.
    • Manufacturing overhead is all other manufacturing costs—like indirect materials and indirect labor.
    • Costs that are an integral part of creating the product are called product costs; they are recorded in the inventory account.
    • Costs not associated with the product, like selling or administrative expenses, are period costs and are expensed immediately.

    Learning Objective 3

    • Manufacturing companies have different inventory accounts (raw materials, work in process, and finished goods) compared to merchandising companies.
    • Cost of goods manufactured is calculated in a specific manner, this varies from the cost of goods sold calculation for merchandising companies.
    • Financial statements for manufacturers reflect these different inventory accounts.
    • The cost of goods sold calculation for manufacturers is distinct from that of merchandisers, incorporating the cost of goods manufactured figure.

    Learning Objective 4

    • Current trends in managerial accounting include shifts to service-based economies and an increased focus on the value chain, just-in-time inventory control, total quality management (TQM), theory of constraints, enterprise resource planning (ERP), activity-based costing (ABC) and evaluating operations integrated with financial and nonfinancial measures, including corporate social responsibility, and business ethics.
    • Balanced scorecards are used to evaluate company performance and goals.
    • The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) and ethical practices are vital for accountability, transparency, and responsible management.
    • Emphasis on sustainability and a "triple bottom line" (people, planet, and profit) reflecting current trends in corporate social responsibility.
