Management accounts. What should they include?
It depends very much on the users, their goals and their understanding of finance.
Most management accounts that I have seen over the years are just information overload. I prefer to focus on three key numbers at a time. These numbers may vary over time as focus shifts to improving different parts of the business.
Of course there should be more information available to drill down but most managers prefer to focus on a few key items at a time.
What do you like to see in management information?
