How does the level of aggregation differ between financial accounting information and managerial accounting information?

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary.

Most financial accounting information is prepared for the organization as a whole, so the level of aggregation is high. Most managerial accounting information is prepared for subunits of the company (departments, sales territories, etc.), so the level of aggregation is lower than for financial accounting.
