Abstract: The purpose of this article is to offer useful information about the about the two branches of accounting, management accounting and financial accounting. The role of management accounting is to make the life easier for managers and to facilitate decisions that have to take on the production process or the smooth running of the business. The managers are in a continues need of various information, from the evolution of economics processes of the companies they are leading, up to the external environment. They required data information by different techniques, statistics, graphs, mathematical calculations, to substantiate the decision to take by data value, and not just rely on technical or quantitative. Financial accounting do not offer detailed information about the evolution or informational needs of managers, this is designed external users, like: state institutions, the competition, banks, suppliers, customers who do not require daily information about the entity. Instead, the manager request the detailed information, at irregular intervals, about the production process, the labor productivity, activity reports, internal entity, which often is not available to external users of accounting information.The financial accounting is based on several conventions, laws, standards, helping financial data are comparable over time or between similar entities. The financial accounting offers information about the performance and financial position of the entity and making it intelligible at the same time by all the users. In the case of management accounting, the information do not have an standard presentation, the reports offers information about money, the moment when those have to be paid and the moment when they come back, as receipts.The management accounting it provides futures information and what will happen, in contrast to financial accounting, who provides information about the past and what just happened. Management information uses tools with which to shape the future, to convert it from an uncertain and risky in one forecasted planned.To understand the interface with financial accounting, management accounting is appropiate to provide contractual nature of relationship between the overall management of the entity and its subunits managers (factories, divisions, subsidiaries, branches, warehouses).Through the management contract, the owner entrusts general manager overall administration and management entity, and this, in turn, controls the management and administration of these subunits.
