- Financial accounting is historical and is used for investment decisions, management appraisals, monitoring activities and regulatory measures.

-Financial statements must comply with the rules and agreements set by such entities as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
