INTRODUCTION

Management accounting helps the business or any organization to
analyze data from financial information provided by financial
accounting. Management accounting is the procedure of identifying
analyzing, interpreting and communicating the financial information
which helps the business to achieve its goals.

Accounting techniques
Absorption costing- Absorption Costing means a costing system for
paying for all production costs. This approach is used by the
management to bear the costs of a commodity. Specific costs and
indirect costs are all included. Materials, workers working in
manufacturing, are direct expenses. Included are plant leasing,
management expenses, regulatory and Insurance Indirect costs.

Marginal costing- Marginal costing is a methodology of costs, where
even the marginal costs, i.e. variable costs for units of costs, are paid,
while fixed costs for that time are entirely excluded from the
expenditure.
