Abstract
Perhaps one of the most prominent discussions involving accounting has to do with the differences between financial and management accounts. Some regard these differences to be a question of legality. Companies are required by law to submit financial statements based on certain requirements. On the other hand, management accounting can be structured to suit the needs of the company. However, the fact that firms can structure their management accounting statements according to their needs might lead one to suggest that major differences between these two systems relate to practicality. With this in mind, it is hypothesised that while legal issues are important for determining the differences between financial and management accounting they are not the only considerations, one must also consider the extent to which practical considerations contribute to the development of these differences.

From the Paper
"In the past few years, several scandals involving the improper management of financial data have emerged; however, the fall of global business giant Enron in 2001 is the most notable. That same year, Fortune Magazine had selected Enron as the most innovative company in America, six times in a row (Canto, 2002). In just 15 years, Enron grew from nowhere to be America's seventh largest company, employing 21,000 staff in more than 40 countries. As a result of this widespread success, Enron was hailed as a new-economy company that would act as a business model for others to follow. However, also in 2001, Enron filed for bankruptcy, and it was revealed that the firms' success was really attributed to the fraudulent manipulation and unethical management of financial data."

"Budgeting is used to assist in strategic planning. Strategic or long-range planning requires the specification of objectives towards which future operations should be directed. The search for better methods of allocating and controlling the expenditure of funds has always been very important to managers. With corporations realizing decreasing revenues and governments confronted by huge deficits, budgeting is more difficult than ever. The old methods no longer are suitable for Citibank. The newest forms of budgeting are Zero-based Budgeting (ZBB) and Activity-Based Budgeting (ABB)."

Abstract
The role of the financial manager has become more predominate over the last few years and is different from the role of an accountant. This paper discusses how financial managers have become more of a "hot commodity" because they provide more than just knowing how to record, and track transactions. It explains how a financial manager is involved in the vital roles of planning, budgeting, and analyzing risk.
From the Paper
"A Financial managers role works closely with accountants yet have a different role than an accountant. Financial managers are involved in the decisions that flow assets from investors to the companies and back to the investors. This typically is done to create a return on investments. They are the ones that make decisions on how to obtain financing for the companies, and then in turn how to use those assets to generate a return. This involves financial decisions about how they actually want to raise the money that will be utilized for the investment, and also the capital budgeting or which real assets the company will acquire."

Abstract
In the summer of 2002, when Congress was attempting to decide how to clean up the shady financial practices of corporate America, mutual fund company lobbyists convinced lawmakers to exempt their area of the financial services industry. Since then, this industry has occupied center-stage in the spotlight targeted at ethical problems in financial management. This paper shows that there are a number of important ethical issues that have been ignored by mutual fund managers and their firms, issues that are of great concern to investors, legislators, and regulators. These areas of concern include conflicts of interest, director independence, and transparency of fee and expense reporting.
From the Paper
"There is a notable lack of independence among the members of the boards of directors who are supposed to be making sure mutual funds are run in the best interest of the investors. The watchdog role of a fund?s board of directors theoretically includes not only watching the big picture, but also the minutiae of the funds? service contracts, operations and investment policies. These board members should be free of potential conflicts of interest in order to play the biggest role possible in making sure the best interests of their funds? shareholders are served."

From the Paper
"Broadly speaking, the accountant identifies, measures and communicates important economic information about a business entity; organization or corporation in order that informed judgments can be made. It has an internal orientation, is indirectly involved with but significantly supports the decision-making process. A variety of managers use this information to make informed decisions. Among them is the Financial Manager.

A Treasurer is responsible for cash management, raising capital and cultivating relationships with banks and investors. Finally, a Controller's role is quite similar to the role of the Accountant in that he or she prepares financial statements, is responsible for internal accounting and tax affairs."

Role of Financial Managers, 2005.
Examines the job of financial managers in post-Sarbanes Oxley America.

Abstract
This paper deals with the new role of financial managers since Sarbanes Oxley. Changes have occurred to ensure that investors are assured that the information they are given is trustworthy.
From the Paper
"In the aftermath of corporate scandals, companies have been scrambling to improve their corporate image and increase the reliability and trust-worthiness of their stock. Fortunately, investors do not have to rely on company promises alone and as such the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted to enforce truthful and accurate accounting practices for all companies (Duffy, 2004, p. 43). Due to these changes, investing has also been affected. The fund managers and CPAs have been held more accountable, if not by law, but by their clientele. Their clients expect them to go an additional step and secure that they are investing in companies that do not participate in fraudulent activities. Therefore ethics are now playing a role in the financial manager's job, more so than ever before. Many feel that this is a positive change especially for those whose still fear the worst."
