INTRODUCTION AND SURVEY OF THE CONTENTS

The textbook “Management Accounting.”, which forms the basis for the “Workbook 1 – Balance Sheet | Profit/Loss Account” wants to give a comprehensive overview of the topic accounting/controlling – the Big Picture which shows the central elements of accounting/controlling and their connections.

“Management Accounting.” deals with the contents of and the connections between balance sheet, profit/loss account, contribution margin costing, results statement, profit plan, finance plan and budgeted balance sheet. In the operating business these elements are often viewed at and analyzed in an isolated way, although they build on a common data basis, and although there is constant interaction between them. In “Management Accounting.” the mentioned elements are linked to each other.

The approach that is used in “Management Accounting.” focuses on two central connections which form the basic structure of presenting the economic activities in accounting/controlling of an enterprise:

The first of these two connections is the basic connection between balance sheet and profit/loss account which is presented in its concrete ­numerical effects here in the “Workbook 1 – Balance Sheet | Profit/Loss Account”.

The second decisive connection is based on the interaction of the components result (profit or loss respectively), liquidity (solvency) and balance sheet which – with a view to the future – are presented through the ­elements Profit Plan, Finance Plan and Budgeted Balance Sheet.

Under the aspect of communicating a total overview and of concentrating on connections, there are substantial differences between “Management Accounting.”, and also “Workbook 1 – Balance Sheet | Profit/Loss Account”, compared to classical textbooks on accounting/controlling or to standard literature in the field of accounting/controlling.

Like this, in “Management Accounting.” an approach has been chosen on purpose, to show the connections between balance sheet and profit/loss account, so that only the final effects of economic activities are considered – directly in balance sheet and profit/loss account; the usual presentation of detailed accounts and entry formulas is completely avoided.

For putting “Management Accounting. Workbook 1 – Balance Sheet | Profit/Loss Account” into the correct groups of contents and topics, it is of great importance that the reader is fully aware of the fact that “Management Accounting. Workbook 1 – Balance Sheet | Profit/Loss Account” does not deal with entry formulas, bookkeeping or balancing but with presenting accounting/controlling effects of business activities directly in and on balance sheet and profit/loss account.
