  • Discussion response

    Reply to Jess discussion post: Both financial and managerial accounting are essential for making informed strategic business decisions. They provide complimentary insights into a companys performance and future direction. Financial accounting is aimed primarily at external users of accounting information, whereas managerial accounting is aimed primarily at internal users. Lets now take a look at each type and this should bring to light on why they are both equally important for making business decisions. Financial accounting focuses on providing standardized financial statements to external stakeholders, including investors, creditors and regulators. This transparency is critical to maintain trust and compliance with legal requirements. Additionally, it offers a historical perspective on a companys financial performance, allowing external stakeholders to assess the profitability, liquidity, and solvency over time. The information used in financial accounting is prepared on a consistent basis such as monthly or quarterly, and the information contained in the accounting reports is subject to audit by a certified public accountant (Kimmel, Weygandt, & Kieso, 2016). Managerial accounting stresses how accounting information can be used internally by managers for planning, controlling and decision-making (Jiambalvo, 2020). It provides detailed financial and non-financial information tailored to the needs of internal management. This includes budgeting, forecasting and performance analysis. This is essential for day-to-day operations and long-term planning. Unlike financial accounting, which is historical, managerial accounting focuses on future projections and operational efficiency. It helps managers make informed decisions on strategic decisions for the company. Lastly, this type of accounting can be customized to meet specific needs of different departments or projects, allowing for timely and relevant information that supports decision making efforts. Together, they enable organizations to navigate complex business environments, optimize performance, and achieve their strategic goals. By integrating both perspectives, businesses can make well-rounded decisions that align with both internal objectives and external expectations. It would be hard for a company to continue being successful without incorporating both types of accounting. References Jiambalvo,J.(2020)Managerial accounting (7th ed.). Wiley.

  • DataProj2

    THIS IS A TABLEAU PROJECT:

    For this project, you will be using instructions from Lab 5-1 Alt on page 298.

    Imagine that you are performing an analysis for the CFO of ABC Retail Company, and you need to communicate the results of your analysis back to the CFO. The CFO has asked you to provide a statistical analysis of return on sales among competitors in the retail industry. Imagine that you performed the analysis in Excel only.

    At ABC Retail Company, the CFO defines outliers as any observations beyond the following boundaries:

    • The members of the highest and lowest bin on the histogram.

    Project Instructions:

    • Data preparation:
    • Using the dataset in this assignment, perform Lab 5-1 Alternate on page 298 of your textbook. You do not need to perform the Assessment Steps 1-3. Instead you will be submitting an Excel Workbook with at least four tabs.
    • Source data will be on one tab.
    • Statistical analysis table will be on another tab.
    • Source data with any outliers removed will be on another tab (it’s always a good idea to leave your original dataset intact).
    • Re-performed statistical analysis, after removing the outlier, will be on another tab.
    • Don’t forget to include your charts!
    • Verbal analysis:
    • Create a Word document and draft a hypothetical email to the CFO. Your email should include a recap of the work that you performed (use the AMPS model to help you), including the following:
    • A: Explain what question was being answered and the purpose of the analysis.
    • M: Describe any issues you had in obtaining, cleaning, transforming or using the data.
    • P: Give an overview of your analysis procedures and any issues that may require additional validation.
    • S: Explain why the results may provide value to making decisions, describing items of interest.
    • For this assignment, explain statistical information for return on sales for the retail industry, including the number of companies analyzed, and the average return on sales for the population.
    • Identify the outlier(s) by name in the email.
    • Remove the outlier(s) from the population. After the outlier has been removed, explain statistical information for return on sales for the retail industry, including the number of companies analyzed, and the average return on sales for the population.
    • Submit two files: The Excel Workbook and the Word document.
