Management accounting a profession that involves partnering in management decision making, devising planning
and performance management systems, and providing expertise in financial reporting
and control to assist management in the formulation and implementation of an
organization's strategy.
Manager's Three Primary Responsibilities Managerial accounting helps managers fulfill their three primary responsibilities: planning,
directing, and controlling.
Planning involves setting goals and objectives for the company and determining how to
achieve them. For example, one of Starbucks's goal is to generate more sales. One
strategy to achieve this goal is to open more retail locations. For example, the company
opened 731 new company-operated stores in fiscal 2015, roughly half in the U.S. and half
in China and the Asia-Pacific. Another strategy is to develop new products and new
distribution channels (selling coffee through grocery stores and warehouse clubs).
Directing means overseeing the company's day-to-day operations. Management uses
sales and costs information by store, region, and distribution channel, to run daily
business operations. For example, Starbucks managers use sales data to determine which
beverages on the menu and products in the stores are generating the most sales. They
uses that info to adjust offerings, marketing strategies, and retail expansion decisions.
Controlling means evaluating the results of business operations against the plan and
making adjustments to keep the company pressing toward its goals. Starbucks uses
performance reports to compare each store's actual performance against the budget and
then based on that feedback take corrective actions if needed. If actual costs are higher
than planned, or actual sales are lower than planned, then management may revise its
plans or adjust operations.
