There are three branches of accounting: financial accounting which is for external purposes, cost accounting which is for internal purposes like managers and directors, and management accounting which also serves internal purposes like aiding management decisions. Costs can be classified as either direct costs, which can be fully traced to a specific product or service, or indirect costs, which cannot be directly traced. Management is the central coordinating body within an organization.
