Accounting

These external decision makers include investors, creditors, and others. The information is distributed primarily through general-purpose financial statements. Financial statements describe the condition of the organization and the events that happened during the year.
             Managerial accounting involves providing information to an organization's managers. Managerial accounting reports often include much of the same information used in financial accounting.
