“The users of the accounting information”. According to the author Horngren,C .Introduction to management accounting, the list of the people who use the accounting information is infinite. But even having this range of users or decision makers, we still can divide them in two groups, relatively “the internal users and the external users”. And that is what we discussed about along the assignment. First, defining each type of users and their respective categories based in their needs. At the second point, the discussion includes the outline of the information required by the users in the financial statements.
At last, the extend or value of the information they need for the decision making with the bases of authors like Skusen Langenderfer, Albercht accounting principles and applications
