Taa Conference is concerned with the provisions and use of
accounting information to managers within organizations, to
provide them with the basis to make informed business decisions
that will allow them to be better equipped in their management
and control functions.
In contrast to financial accountancy information, management
accounting information is:
usually confidential and used by management, instead of publicly
reported;
forward-looking, instead of historical;
pragmatically computed, instead of complying with accounting
standards.
This is because of the different emphasis: management accounting
information is used within an organization, typically for
decision-making.
