Introduction
In the conditions of the developing market relations in our country the enterprise became legally and economically independent. Effective management of a production activity of the enterprise more and more depends on level of information support of its separate divisions and services.
Now the few organizations have thus the put accounting that information containing in it was suitable for operational management and the analysis.
As practice shows, the enterprises having difficult production structure, are in great need in the operational economic and financial information, helping to optimize expenses and financial results, to make reasonable administrative decisions. Unfortunately, decisions made by the management on development and the organization of production don’t locate the corresponding calculations and, as a rule, have intuitive character.
Information necessary for operational management of the enterprise contains in system of management accounting which consider as one of the new and perspective directions of accounting practice.
And the most important, a basis of management accounting is collection of information about expenses of the organization and calculation. Domestic practice deeply worked the questions connected with calculation. Rich theoretical and practical experience in area of a standard method of the accounting of expenses and the calculation which is so similar to standard-cost system in management accounting is saved up.
The purpose of this term paper is studying of process of managerial accounting in Kazakhstan and identification of tasks of this process.
For this purpose it is necessary to solve the following problems:
1. To open essence of management accounting, its methods and objects.
2. To allocate the principles and functions of management accounting.

Chapter 1. Essence and meaning of of managerial accounting
1.1 Definition of managerial accounting
managerial accounting administrative decision
Managerial Accounting — it is not only the collection and recording of information, but its analysis and assessment in order to obtain such data, based on which you can control the organization, primarily operational. Primary accounting is one of the most important sources of information for management accounting, and the most reliable. At the same time for the implementation of the information needs of managers require data from additional sources, both internal and external.
Managerial accounting is not a new phenomenon for domestic practice. Regulatory accounting, to the cost and responsibility centers, and cost analysis division under calculation and economic elements, etc. — All of these tools were part of the Soviet industrial accounting. However, the basic information that is formed in the period concerned the calculation and control costs. Furthermore, this analytical information formed in a single system of accounts that still distinguishes our management accounting. At the same time, almost no attention was paid to the production of information on presumptive income, profitability of a product, pricing policy.
Management accounting system should provide planning and control not only costs but also revenues. Only such an approach will provide real economic effect of internal accounting.
For effective management of economic activities and the financial results of enterprises need to create a system of flexible, reliable and timely economic information. In these circumstances, the role and importance of accounting.
Terms of managerial accounting establishes the enterprise, taking into account the specifics of, especially those solutions or other management tasks. It combines into a single system planning, accounting and cost analysis by type, place of formation and objects of calculation, based on a normative account of full and reduced costs, methods of calculation, planning, accounting and investment analysis. Each of the components of the system should include a methodology analytical assessment of the information received from the point of view of the possibilities of use for administrative purposes.
In a market economy, there is an integration of management methods into a single system of management accounting .
Managerial Accounting in its content and purpose is focused on the future. At the same time take into account the circumstances which may change during the planning period. Management accounting data allow to identify the areas of greatest risk, bottlenecks in the enterprise, inefficient or unprofitable products, and how to implement them .
The purpose of management accounting — providing enterprise managers the information they need to make effective management decisions. In doing so, management accounting requirements, other than the requirements of Financial Accounting.
Managerial accounting is not required for the application. His organization and methodology are not regulated by law. The decision to implement it in practice takes the leadership of the enterprise. At the same time collecting and processing information are considered appropriate if its value for control above the cost of obtaining relevant data.
Management Accounting aims to meet the information needs of internal users — company management, and for each level of control volume and the content is different.
Management accounting data can not be disclosed and are a trade secret enterprise. Compliance with secrecy of this information applies not only to external users, but also employees of the company, not directly related to this problem .
In managerial accounting par with cash used natural indicators: the number of hours of raw materials, the amount of revenue, etc. Furthermore, if necessary, may use the relative parameters.
Managerial Accounting in addition to consolidated performance involves grouping information by market sector, places of formation expenses,
Responsibility centers, the causes and perpetrators of deviations on orders and products, etc.
Managerial accounting is primarily focused on the future. The most important part of his plan is that based on available information necessarily involves the calculation of predictive values. If financial account shows «how it was «the management accounting — «as it should be .»
In managerial accounting possible rough estimates and benchmarks for the purpose of more timely information.
In managerial accounting there is no strict time limits of presenting information. However, if necessary, information can be provided with any desired frequency. Deadline for submission of information in managerial accounting management unit installed directly enterprise.
Management accounting is based on the principles of expediency, comparability, timeliness of providing information. With regard to the principle of double entry, it can be used as, and not be used .
Since management accounting is not regulated by law, the responsibility for the correctness of reference also not provided. In other words, the cause of the prosecution can be only the managerial decisions, and not any data records.
Thus, management accounting — can be defined as an independent branch of the accounting organization that provides it with administrative staff information used for planning, managing, monitoring and evaluation of the organization as a whole, as well as its structural units .
1.2 Subject of managerial accounting
Subject of management accounting is administrative information. Traditionally information of management accounting had financial character, that is it was submitted in dollars, rubles, yens or other monetary units. However recently the area of management accounting was significantly expanded addition with operational and physical (non-financial) information, such as quality of production, indicators of duration of process, and value judgment, as, for example, satisfaction of clients, the creative potential of employees and operational qualities of a new product.
Information of management accounting — financial and operational data on kinds of activity and the processes which are carried out in the organization; functioning of its structural divisions; products let out by it and services; clients of the organization.
So, information of management accounting can be:
— «quantitative» (that is connected with figures, as, for example, documentation on commodity stocks, administrative reports, etc.);
— «qualitative» (that is information of non-financial character which supplements a picture, drawing attention of the management to the corresponding problems which don’t have monetary value).
Quite often qualitative factors are ignored by heads. It occurs when the data prepared as an auxiliary material for decision-making, indicate directly one decision. Similar practice isn’t effective as qualitative aspects of decisions are same important, as well as quantitative, and the most qualified decisions can be made only at the accounting of all available information[3].
In order that administrative information could be used effectively, it has to answer some certain criteria:
1. The brevity — information has to be accurate, not contain anything superfluous.
2. Accuracy — the user has to be sure that information doesn’t contain mistakes or admissions. Information has to be free from any jugglings.
3. Efficiency — information has to be ready by then when it is necessary.
4. Comparability — information has to be comparable on time and on departments/divisions.
5. Expediency — information has to be suitable for that purpose for which it is prepared.
6. Profitability — preparation of information shouldn’t cost more, than benefits from its use.
7. Not tendentiousness — information has to be prepared and presented so that it was impartial.
8. Addressing — information has to be brought to the executive; thus it is necessary to observe confidentiality.
Quite often heads receive information which demands additional processing. As a result, the decisions made on the basis of this information, are inexact or are accepted with delay and lose the relevance. Information can be processed before hit to the head, certain forms of providing information are thus used. Accuracy and brevity of received information allows to make decisions quickly and, as a result, increases the speed of working processes. Thus an important point is qualification of the head. As the system can’t replace personal experience and judgment.
Demand for information of management accounting is various at each hierarchical level of the organization. At operational level where raw materials or the bought details and knots are transformed to finished goods and where clients are served, information is necessary mainly for control of operations and for their improvement. This information detailed and often repeating; it is measured most often natural, instead of financial performance, and by the nature rather technological, than economic.
In process of movement to higher levels of the organization it is visible that middle managers carry out monitoring of works and make the decisions concerning financial and material resources, production, services and clients. They can receive information of management accounting much less often, and information will be more aggregated and submitted in financial performance. Managers use this information as the instrument of expeditious diagnostics; she can warn them about existence of such aspects of daily activity which differ from the expected. Information can be used also for improvement of planning and adoption of more successful decisions.
The heads belonging to the highest echelons of organizational management, receive total information of management accounting on economic operations and the events occurring at the level of the certain employee, the client and division. They use this information for justification of the decisions having long-term consequences for the organization (adoption of strategic decisions).
Chapter 2. Functions and methods of managerial accounting
2.1 Functions of managerial accounting
Financial and economic activity of the enterprise within management accounting finds reflection in the reporting formed on structural divisions, the responsibility centers, types or groups of production, to budget articles. Besides, the reporting as a whole on the enterprise with generalization of results of work of the enterprise for a certain reporting period is formed.
The concrete contents, forms and types of the internal administrative reporting depend on organizational structure of the enterprise, types of productions, a target orientation and other factors.
Planning can be both long-term (strategic), and short-term (tactical). Long-term planning considers enterprise activity for the period of three-five years and more. In its framework strategy of development of the enterprise on prospect is developed: possible objects of capital investments, increase in capacities, gain of sales markets, etc. Management accounting provides information for decision-making on long-term prospect on such questions: what types of production are more favorable to production and sale how to build price policy, what estimated profitability of capital investments in this or that object (rationality of investments), etc.
Short-term planning (for up to one year) assumes development of budgets and estimates as a whole on the enterprise, and also in a section of its structural divisions with breakdown on quarters, months, days. Within management accounting procedure of formation of budgets is established, development of short-term plans by all divisions of the enterprise is coordinated[4].
All information necessary for management, has to be systematized on certain signs. Besides the general directions of collecting and information interpretation in management accounting it is necessary to form also target flows of information collected and systematized on concrete administrative decisions. So, for example, at development of the administrative decision on production of this or that product information on possible costs for production and realization — full and variables, demand for this product gathers on the market, the average prices on necessary raw materials and materials, cover amounts on product unit, etc.
Managers of any enterprise at elaboration of strategy and policy of management are guided by data of the accounting of the expenses reflecting use by the enterprise of all types of resources in the course of activity. In this regard expenses are one of the main objects of management accounting. The special attention of system of management accounting is directed on reflection of dynamics of behavior of expenses of various resources depending on such factors as increase or reduction of sales volumes, product range change, etc. Besides, much attention is paid to the accounting of expenses on the responsibility centers.
For control of use of all types of resources of the enterprise the operational analysis of activity of each center of responsibility on the basis of which «narrow» places in production and realization come to light is made. Received information is provided to linear managers for adoption of timely administrative decisions.
In management accounting much attention is paid to the accounting of deviations of the actual indicators of work from planned or standard. The method of the factorial analysis, i.e. division of all arisen deviations for the reasons which have caused their emergence is thus used.
Enterprise plans not always are strictly set standard of activity. At a deviation of the actual results from planned they can be specified or be reconsidered if the preliminary analysis shows unattainability of any indicators. This way of management is called as management by exception. After specification of indicators measures of correcting action for reduction of the actual results in compliance with the planned are taken. Thus dynamism and flexibility of administrative process is provided.
Methods of calculation of product cost and definition of financial result depend on a look and branch accessory of the enterprise, the production technology and other factors. It is known that the financial result of activity of the enterprise consists of various components: the income from production and realization of production, property delivery in rent, sales of not used economic means, percent on deposits to securities of other enterprises and the organizations, etc. So, in a case when the enterprise lets out some types of production, the positive result from production and sale of one production can be shaded by a loss from another. Same concerns also activity of divisions of the enterprise.
By means of information formed in management accounting, and also development of budgets and estimates accurate coordination of actions of managers on systematization of the tasks facing the enterprise, and achievement of ultimate goals of business is made for different levels of management. Thus action of the principle of linear management is provided.
Management accounting of the enterprise is focused first of all on the future. Its purpose is formation of information which would allow to make the administrative decisions providing not only good results in the reporting period, but also stable development of the enterprise in the future. Thus, development of actions for increase of efficiency of financial and economic activity of the enterprise both from the point of view of more rational use of resources, and regarding expansion of sales markets, development of new productions, etc. is necessary. For information support and an effect assessment from these actions in management accounting a number of methods is used. So, analysis of «expense-volume-profit» widely used in management accounting gives the chance to track interrelation between such characteristics, as expenses, the volume and profit, i.e. to define impact which changes in expenses, the goods price, volume of its production and the nomenclature of let-out goods have on size got from realization of goods of profit, and also for an assessment of change of one of these factors or several factors together.
2.2 Methods of managerial accounting
The main method of the solution of a task is the analysis of expenses and creation of a cost management system. «Expenses exist not in order that to count them. They exist that to reduce them» — Tayichi It (the founder of the Toyota production system directed on total decrease in operational expenses in the organization). From this position it is necessary to consider a cost management system.
Analysis and creation of a cost management system:
1. Collecting all possible information on expenses at the enterprise — cost (the prices of resources, compensation rates, etc.) and operational (account coefficients, standards of expenses of time, the characteristic of the performed work) business characteristics. All these data arrive in system of management accounting by means of so-called primary documents. In them the fact of the performed work and quantity of the used resources are fixed. Primary documents are filled in on places of emergence of expenses. Data on expenses can gather manually or with use of information technologies. Certainly, more perfect form of data collection assumes use of software products of processing.
2. Group of expenses according to the chosen classification.
3. Procedure of allocation of costs. Consists of three stages:
The 1st — gets out object of the accounting of expenses;
The 2nd — selection and accumulation of the expenses relating to this object of the account;
The 3rd — gets out a method of transferring of expenses of auxiliary services on production divisions.
Technique of allocation of costs:
definition of base and principles of allocation of costs;
development of formats of primary forms of account about expenses;
development of a technique of filling of primary forms of account;
development of a technique of processing of primary forms of account, allowing to distribute expenses between types of products, objects of the account and kinds of activity;
development of formats of administrative reports on expenses.
4. Identification of important and controlled expenses.
5. Detailed studying of each item of expenditure.
6. Choice of a method of calculation of prime cost.
7. Analysis. Consideration of possibility of decrease in expenses. Analysis of possibility of reduction of influence of adverse factors. Definition of the periods and the reasons for which there are sharp changes:
the analysis of «expense-volume-profit» (CVP analysis) — process of combination of information on behavior of expenses with information on the income from realization for the purpose of planning of the income, expenses and profits for various levels of volume;
what-if the analysis — the type of the analysis investigating effect of change in parameter on results. In other words what-if shows the analysis as all parameters of the project (the budget or the plan) change at change of the key. It can be production price, sales volume, output, a salary of the personnel, a rate of taxes, etc. Quality of carrying out what-if of the analysis depends on model of the project used for this purpose. It has to be full, precisely reflect interrelations and use acceptable estimates. If the model full and precisely reflects interrelations of power, expenses and the revenue, then the remained question is an accuracy of used data. Specialists in planning test models by a variation of key estimates. The sensitivity analysis is for this purpose used[12];
The sensitivity analysis — the analysis of effect of change of parameter on the decision, instead of on result. In other words it is process of a selective variation of key estimates of the budget or the plan. He allows to identify estimates which are especially critical for the decisions which are based on this model. For example — the labor necessary for production of each product, serves as important parameter in the course of drawing up the preliminary budget. Little changes in this parameter involve considerable changes in a profit indicator.
Scientifically reasonable classification of expenses is of great importance for the correct organization of the accounting of expenses. Within management accounting of expense share on category depending on what administrative problem should be solved:
1. Classification of expenses for calculation of prime cost of made production, estimation of cost of stocks and the got profit:
entering and expired. Entering expenses — those means, resources which were acquired, are available and, as expected, have to bring in the income in the future (in a balance asset — stocks of materials, stocks in a work in progress, stocks of finished goods). Expired — during the reporting period were spent and lost ability to bring in the income further. It is necessary to consider that redistribution of money isn’t an expense;
direct and indirect. Expenses belong to straight lines (conditional and variable), directly connected with process of production of a concrete type of production and which can be included in prime cost the of groups or separate orders (materials, purchased products and semi-finished products, the main salary of production workers, etc.). Expenses which can’t be carried directly on group or the separate order (maintenance costs and operation of cars and the equipment, a general production, general running and other expenses) belong to indirect (conditional and constant) expenses. These expenses include in prime cost an indirect way — by the principles determined by the instruction on planning, the account and prime cost calculation at the printing enterprises;
production and non-productive. Production expenses are connected with production process. Expenses on container, packing, transportation, expenses belong to extra production expenses on sale and commercial collecting;
the main and laid on. The main expenses are directly connected with primary factors of production (the main and auxiliary materials, a salary of the main and auxiliary workers, the electric power, etc. for the capital equipment). Laid on expenses are connected with the organization of production and management. They are caused by social and economic conditions of managing and the production organization (losses from idle times, damage of material resources, etc.)[7].
2. Classification of expenses for adoption of administrative decisions and planning:
constants and variables. Variable (proportional) expenses can change depending on output (the main materials, a salary of production workers, the electric power for technical needs). Constant (disproportionate) expenses don’t change depending on output (a management personnel salary, the electric power,
3. Classification of expenses for control and regulation:
adjustable and unregulated. Adjustable expenses — are subject to influence of the manager of the center of responsibility.
The group and allocation of costs is carried out depending on that is considered object of the account. Expenses are grouped in a place of their emergence, carriers of expenses, types of expenses and the responsibility centers:
1. In an emergence place. Expenses are grouped in productions, shops, sites and other structural divisions of the enterprise on which planning, rationing and the account is carried out. Such group of expenses is necessary for control of overall performance of structural divisions and the enterprise as a whole. And also for distribution of laid on expenses between separate types of production at calculation of product cost (works, services).
2. On carriers. Carriers of expenses call types of production (works, services) the enterprises intended to realization. This group is necessary for determination of prime cost of a unit of production (works, services).
3. By types of expenses. Necessary condition for total control of expenses. This classification of expenses is in essence defined by hl. 25 RK Oil Company: material inputs, depreciation charges, expenses on compensation, other expenses. Allows the enterprise to calculate structure of prime cost of made production — a percentage ratio of separate elements of prime cost in a total cost of expenses for production (reserves on its decrease).
4. On the responsibility centers. The responsibility center — structural division of the organization at the head of which there is the manager controlling expenses, the income and the means invested in this segment of business by administration (for example, plant shop). Irrespective of the size of structural division in management accounting allocate four types of the centers of responsibility:
the center of expenses — his head possesses the smallest administrative powers, therefore, bears the minimum responsibility for the received results. He is responsible only for production expenses. The system of management accounting is aimed only at measurement and fixing of expenses on an entrance to the center, i.e. rationing, planning and the accounting of costs of production is organized. Results of activity of the center (the volume of the made production, the rendered services, the performed works) aren’t considered[6];
the center of the income — the manager is responsible for obtaining the income (receipts), but doesn’t bear responsibility for expenses (department of wholesales of trade organization, distribution department — in publishing house, department of placement of borrowed funds — in bank). Problem of management accounting — fixing of results of activity of the center of responsibility at the exit;
the profit center — the head is responsible as for expenses, and the income of the division, makes decisions on quantity of consumed resources and the size of expected revenue. Management accounting has to provide information on the cost of expenses on an entrance to the center, expenses in the center and the end results at the exit. The center purpose — receiving the maximum profit by an optimum combination of parameters of put resources, output and the price;
the center of investments — the manager controls the income and expenses, watches efficiency of use of the invested means (own investment decisions).
2.3 Objects of managerial accounting
Subject of management is process of impact on object or management process for the purpose of the organization and is coordinate activity of people for achievement of maximum efficiency of production. Management realizes influence regarding management by means of planning, the organization, stimulation and control coordinating. Such functions are carried out by management accounting, forming the system which answers the purposes and problems of management.
Now there are no accurate definitions of a subject of management accounting. Authors while are limited to a statement of understanding of essence of accounting in general and administrative in particular. Meanwhile systems change and methods of control over enterprise activity, respectively change procedures and the content of management accounting. Especially it concerns modeling of the accounting of expenses and the income at the enterprises with different organizational structure, influences of changing external factors (inflation, industry restructuring, etc.). From there are changes in the list of objects and subjects of management[6].
The science theory about management forms the concept and about a subject of management accounting. As subject of management accounting in a general view set of objects in the course of all cycle of production management acts. Its numerous objects which can be united in two groups open the maintenance of a subject:
— the production resources providing expedient work of people in the course of economic activity of the enterprise;
— economic processes and their results making in total a production activity of the enterprise.
A part of production resources are:
* fixed assets — it is means of labor (cars, the equipment, production buildings, etc.), their state and use;
* intangible assets — objects of a long-term investment (a right of use of the earth, standards, licenses, trademarks etc.),
* material resources — the objects of the labor intended for processing in the course of production by means of means of labor.
These resources in management accounting are presented by production stocks in enterprise warehouses, and storerooms of shops and on sites, warehouses of production department and in the course of their movement but a stage of a production cycle to finished goods warehouse. They include raw materials as a product of extracting industries, agriculture; the materials which have undergone preliminary processing both at the enterprise, and on others (semi-finished products — preparations, forgings, castings, details, knots, etc.);
manpower — the mass of live work which the enterprise at present, use of a manpower in the course of expedient activity and result of work has.
The following kinds of activity belong to the second group of objects of management accounting;
* supplying and procuring activity — acquisition storage, ensuring production with raw material resources, auxiliary materials and the production equipment with the spare parts intended for its contents and repair, the marketing activity connected with supplying processes;
* a production activity — the processes caused by the production technology of production, including main and auxiliary operations; operations on improvement let out and development of new products;
* financial and marketing activity — market researches and operations on formation of a sales market of production; directly marketing operations, including packing" transportation and other types of works; the operations promoting growth of sales volume, since advertising of a product and finishing establishment of direct connections with consumers, products quality control;
* organizational activity — creation of organizational structure of the enterprise, articulation from system of the enterprise of functional departments, services, shops, sites; the organization of information system at the enterprise with a straight line and feedback meeting the requirements of internal communications between the structural divisions, different levels of the management, corresponding to functions of planning, control, an assessment of implementation of the plan, stimulation; operations of coordinating of actions of the internal performers directed on performance of a main objective of the enterprise. Other group of objects of management accounting can be chosen, but anyway it has to answered main objectives of management.
Chapter 3. Features of the organization of managerial accounting in JSC «Milland»
3.1 General characteristic and main indicators of activity of JSC «Milland»
JSC Milland is founded in 2002. The joint-stock company is an organizational form of association of shareholders. It accumulates the capital by release in the circulation of securities — stocks. The joint stock company possesses the status of the legal entity. Its establishment requires the minimum of authorized capital distributed on certain number of actions.

— existence of a problem of coordination of interests of management of joint stock company and shareholders;
— lack of interest at the persons who are working at the enterprise and not owning actions, in increase of labor productivity and other indicators of efficiency;
— insufficient flexibility, efficiency and maneuverability, conservatism in management.

Indicators of business activity characterize results and efficiency of the current activity of the economic subject. The financial condition of the organization is in direct dependence on that, how fast investments made in assets, turn into real money. Duration of finding of means in a turn is defined by cumulative influence of a number of multidirectional factors of external and internal character. Dependence of speed of a turn on the applied accounting policies, the created structure of assets can be an example.
Thus, the main characteristics and indicators of activity of JSC Milland that allows to pass to directly analysis of the organization of management accounting at this enterprise are considered.
3.2 The analysis of efficiency of the organization of managerial accounting in JSC «Milland» and its influence on adoption of administrative decisions
As the organization of management accounting understand system of conditions and elements of creation of registration process for the purpose of obtaining reliable and timely information about economic activity of the organization, control of rational use of production resources and managements of a production activity. Responsibility for the organization of management accounting in the organizations is born by heads of the organizations.
In JSC Milland management accounting is organized according to normative documents and to make the administrative decision, the main documents are documents on current assets of the organization.
Current assets are defined as part of the capital the organizations enclosed in its current assets. The basic purpose of current assets consists in ensuring continuous and rhythmical process of production and the address. The economic essence of current assets is that they completely transfer the cost to again created product, a used one production cycle.
The organization of current assets includes: definition of structure and structure of current assets, establishment of requirement of the organization in them, definition of sources of formation, the order and maneuvering by current assets. A part of current assets are: the current assets including production stocks (raw materials, materials, fuel, spare parts for repair); work in progress and the currencies including receivables.
The assessment of a financial condition of the organization will be incomplete without analysis of financial stability. It is necessary to understand security of its stocks and expenses as financial stability of the organization sources of their formation.
Task of the analysis of financial stability is the assessment of degree of independence of loan sources of financing. It is necessary to answer questions: as far as the organization is independent from the financial point of view, level of this independence grows or decreases and whether the condition of its assets and liabilities answers problems of its financial and economic activity,
Financial stability is characterized by system of absolute and relative measures. The most generalizing indicator of financial stability is surplus or a lack of sources of means for formation of stocks and expenses.

Management account in JSC Milland as a whole is kept effectively, such conclusion can be drawn from calculations of the above-stated table.
As the organization of management accounting understand system of conditions and elements of creation of registration process for the purpose of obtaining reliable and timely information about economic activity of the organization, control of rational use of production resources and managements of a production activity. Responsibility for the organization of management accounting in the organizations is born by heads of the organizations.
In JSC Milland there is a number of the principles according to which internal reports are formed and provided:
— the report has to be address and concrete;
— the report has to contain the operational information useful to adoption of administrative decisions;
— by drawing up the report it is necessary to consider psychological features and level of readiness of the specific manager for which the report is intended. It is necessary to know wishes of the manager concerning data representation form (for example, tabular or graphic), structure of indicators;
— the report shouldn’t be overloaded, information in it has to be systematized;
— costs of preparation of the internal reporting shouldn’t exceed economic effect of its use (the principle of profitability);
— the report has to be «prepared», that is has to facilitate decision-making.
For realization of the last principle follows:
— to supplement the actual indicators planned, and also data of the previous periods. Such report allows to see succession of events in time, to their loudspeaker, and also to reveal essential deviations from the plan for subsequent «work» with them (identification of the reasons of deviations, responsible, adoption of the relevant decisions);
— to supplement forms of account with text explanations (for example, about the reasons of deviations);
— to carry out information classification in forms of account (for example, in ascending order or decrease of indicators, favorable/adverse changes, etc.);
— to carry out calculation of the corresponding analytical indicators, for example, the marginal income, profitability, profitability, deviations in physical units and percent etc.
For creation at the enterprise of system of the internal reporting it is necessary to define first of all the list of information which is necessary for managers of various structural links, and also degree of efficiency and a regularity of its granting. For this purpose special examination of an enterprise management system is, as a rule, conducted, powers of managers of various levels of management on decision-making and their information requirements come to light.
3.3 Ways of improvement of the organization of managerial accounting to JSC «Milland»
Management accounting — this intra firm operational management of financial and economic activity directed on satisfaction of information needs of managers of firm not necessarily of highest, and the average level who solve problems at the large enterprise. It is reached by comparison of the actual results with settlement. Management accounting forms also enough extensive information for providing planned administrative decisions, and not only current, but also strategically perspective therefore it can’t be reduced only to account system.
We will consider necessary conditions for creation, allocation of the centers of responsibility within the considered JSC Milland enterprise. Among them it is possible to designate:
— formation of set of the centers of responsibility by which a certain part of shared responsibility for expenses, the income or profit, for creation of system of the centers of responsibility that each bottom level (center) was accountable to the corresponding top is delegated;
— definition of a circle of responsibility. It shouldn’t repeat functional structure of management of the enterprise which exists for other purposes; it can be used only partially and where it is expedient.
For intra firm management in JSC Milland well adjusted information of feedback has essential value. Experience of introduction of management accounting in the organization testifies to need of system approach to obtaining this information. System approach to the organization of information of feedback assumes at least three system units: accounts of management accounting, intra firm reporting, document flow plan.
We will consider some accounting records on accounts of management accounting.
As accounts of management accounting are allocated in the isolated system having internal balance, usually with the zero sum of balance, it is necessary to allocate accounts of the independent accounting of expenses in system of accounts of JSC Milland of the accounting (financial) account.
The business accounts applied in isolated system to the management analytical accounting as experience of introduction of management accounting testifies:
create the complete information structure, allowing to receive internal administrative information with reliability and the accuracy inherent in accounting, but behind closed doors, replacing accounting in intra factory management;
allow to accumulate information on accounts of analytical management accounting in real time with reflection of deviations from the planned and budgetary indicators that increases efficiency of control and management, and to reflect along with actual planned data by accounting records that increases internal discipline of planning, excludes unreasonable changes of budgets and estimates of the centers of responsibility;
allow to generalize quickly significant indicators for the top management and is ordered to provide information on all levels of management.
