Management accounting (also called managerial accounting) is the practice of analyzing financial and operational data to help internal managers make business decisions, covering areas like budgeting, cost analysis, forecasting, and performance measurement. Unlike financial accounting, it is not bound by external reporting standards and instead focuses on internal decision support. Management accountants often hold credentials such as the CMA (Certified Management Accountant) and work in corporate finance departments.
