INTRODUCTION
Management Accounting means the process in which administrators make use of financial
statistics, evidence and knowledge provided within an entity so that they can accurately and
reliably make smaller, medium to long choices in the future (Otley, 2016). It will be very
effective to use this strategy so that managers can promote the completion of goals and priorities
in the future. Capital Joinery Ltd will be the subject of this article. It is a business that
manufactures joinery, produced gates, frames, etc. The specific emphasis of this study would be
on showing the interpretation of management accounting practices, measuring costs using
relevant methods, and explaining the application of forecasting tools. In particular, as phase of
this effort, a contrast of the ways in which firms use accounting systems to address financial
issues would be addressed.
MAIN BODY
P1: Management accounting systems
There are various types of schemes of management accounting that are used to effectively and
successfully evaluate and handle financial data. In Capital Joinery Ltd. the following schemes
are used—
Cost accounting system-It is a system wherein inside the company a calculation of expenses is
produced. They are able to make sure how they can promote a decrease in these expenses by
incorporating suitable procedures and strategies in their use. Capital Joinery Ltd. will allow use
of such a framework so that it is important to directly quantify the impact and to use tools and
approaches to lower the costs.
Essential requirements-
 In this scheme, input estimation must be used such that the firm's inputs are evaluated.
 This method also should insure that expenses are accurately estimated and adequately
divided in the organizations so that they're being allocated as per the amount of costs
generated by each respective department.

Inventory management system- The application of strategies and practices must be used in this
process so the inventory volume can be calculated within organizations (Maas, Schaltegger and
Crutzen, 2016). Companies are now able to measure the extent of their stock accurately and
reliably when making use of everything. Thus it is critical, in the sense of Capital Joinery Ltd.,
the use of this method is made transparent to the organization so that it can reduce the expense of
its stock levels and thereby ensure maximization of the total level of income.
Essential requirements -
 In this scheme, measures such as LIFO, FIFO, Weighted Rate, etc. must be used so that
the inventory volume can be measured and recorded in the correct way.
 This method can allow companies to insure that a decrease of inventory cost of
maintenance can be accomplished, thereby helping to minimize the total amount of
spending and increase income.
Job order costing-It is a method that provides multiple methods and methods to estimate the
inflows of work order in order to identify and pay the amount of the job. Companies such as
Capital Joinery Ltd. can benefit by making use of this method. It is because it is a production
industry and the use of this method provides different kinds of advantages for industrial
companies. To increase profits, they should insure that they are using strategies and procedures
to will job costs.
Essential requirements -
 There must be a use of a variable in this method from which the expenses of work can be
measured. In this way employers can guarantee that a decrease in the amount of earnings
can be achieved by recognizing the expense of the work.
 This method would provide a clear list of the various work orders such that it is possible
to accurately do their accounting.
Price optimization system- This is a system in which it would be possible to predict costs to be
fixed for the potential so that the business can gain better income in the future (Bromwich and
Scapens, 2016). Usage of this method should be rendered in the sense of Capital Joinery Ltd. so
