Usefulness: Relevance
Financial – • Timeliness of
reporting & analysis is constrained by audits, SEC review, etc.
Managerial –• Timeliness is un-
constrained by out-side forces, so management decides the trade-off among timeliness, cost, and quality.
![Page 16: PowerPoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070317/55646e81d8b42a5b318b4918/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
9/11/02 Prof. Bentz 16
Usefulness: Relevance (2)
Financial –
• Feedback value is relatively high and improving due to GAAP & standardization
Managerial –
• Feedback value should be higher because the decision-makers can request needed information
![Page 17: PowerPoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070317/55646e81d8b42a5b318b4918/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

9/11/02 Prof. Bentz 26
Some Implications
1. Generally accepted accounting principles inform and support--but not constrain--what we do in managerial accounting.
2. If we are to better support internal users of information, we need to know how information is to be used. Increasingly, this implies interacting with other members of a team.
![Page 27: PowerPoint](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022070317/55646e81d8b42a5b318b4918/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
9/11/02 Prof. Bentz 27
Some Implications
3. Being knowledgeable about financial reporting standards and transactions processing systems does not make one a good managerial accountant. Some would go so far as to argue that different skills and abilities are needed for managerial accounting, particularly when it comes to planning activities.
