Ahamed 4 © Pearson Education Limited 2012 PART I MANAGEMENT AND COST ACCOUNTING FUNDAMENTALS 5 © Pearson Education Limited 2012 Bhimani, Horngren, Datar and Rajan, Management and Cost Accounting, 5th Edition, Instructor’s Manual Costs, benefits and context The ‘best’ information system depends on both technical and human aspects of the specific situation. This is a major difference between financial accounting, where firms generally need to comply with external reporting requirements where they exist, and management accounting, where choices are based on an explicit or implicit cost–benefit analysis.

Management accounting students must do more than memorising rules. They must evaluate the situation and context, decide which technique or information system is most appropriate and implement it.

Themes in the design of management accounting systems Customer satisfaction is the dominant theme. All other themes are directed toward attracting and retaining profitable customers who remain satisfied. These themes can also be applied to functions within a business. For example, management accountants (MAs) must satisfy their customers (managers) by satisfying key success factors.

MAs must provide high-quality information on a timely basis for a reasonable cost. MAs can develop innovative formats and analyses to facilitate management decisions. They should provide information regarding all elements of the value chain and must prepare information for internal decisions as well as external financial reporting. MAs should continually strive to provide better quality information, faster, at a lower cost.

Solutions to review questions 1.1 The five broad purposes are: Purpose 1: Formulating overall strategies and long-range plans.

Purpose 5: Meeting external regulatory and legal reporting requirements where they exist. 1.2 Management accounting measures and reports financial as well as other types of information that may be useful to managers in fulfilling the goals of the organisation.
