Accounting is generally divided into two categories-financial accounting and management accounting. Traditional financial accounting focuses on reviewing the past and performing the function of reflecting and reporting the operating results and financial status of enterprises; On the other hand, management accounting focuses on the future and performs the functions of prediction, decision-making, planning, control and evaluation. After becoming a "management accountant", he will not only be confined to the accounting image of "Mr. Bookkeeper" in the traditional concept, but also become an enterprise member who is well versed in financial management and can help enterprises make strategic decisions and implement them.
