Student Answer: all financial accounting information is audited by Certified Public Accountants whereas managerial accounting information is not audited by anyone.
managerial accounting is concerned principally with determining the cost of inventory (ending inventory and cost of goods sold), whereas financial accounting is concerned with a wider range of the organization’s activities.
