Clo of Managerial Accounting Week 1.

This week has been really productive and constructive to improve mine knowledge and skills of managerial accounting by strengthening the problem solving and decision-making capacities. This week managerial accounting course was focused on basic managerial accounting concepts and principles. Managerial accounting can be defined as “the process of identifying, measuring, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating information to managers for the pursuit of an organization's goals.” (Wild & Shaw, 2016). Financial accounting can be defined as “a branch of accounting that keeps track of a company's financial transactions, which uses standardized guidelines, the transactions are recorded, summarized, and presented in a financial report or financial statements such as an income statement or a balance sheet.” (Shaub, 2010). So there is some difference between the managerial and financial accounting. Managerial accounting information focused on helping managers within the organization make decisions and financial accounting focuses on providing information to parties outside the organization. Furthermore, we have also learned about the job order costing. In accounting terms, job order costing refers to the systems to assign costs to products or services that the company provides. Job order costing is used in situations where the company delivers a unique or custom job for its customers. For example, law firms or CA firms mostly use job order costing. As their very customer or clients are different and unique in job nature. Furthermore, we have also discussed the just in time costs, which refers to aligning raw-material orders from suppliers directly with production schedules of the company to increase efficiency and decrease waste by receiving goods only as they need them for the production process, which reduces inventory costs. Moreover, we have also discussed the concept of money management. Money management refers to the process of budgeting, saving, investing, spending or otherwise overseeing the capital usage, which most people tend to forget about it.
