Specifics of management accounting information system in a banking sector[Specifika využití systému informací manažerského účetnictví v bankovním sektoru]

Management accounting information system can be perceived in two relatively independent concepts, seen as product costing or responsibility accounting. Product costing purveys detailed information on actual product profitability (with classification according to customer segments or distribution channels in detail) and profitability analyses. On the other hand, responsibility accounting employs different criteria to measure the performance of centres in order to set the responsibility for fundamental financial indicators (costs, revenues and profit). In a banking sector, product, organisational and cliental concepts of management accounting unite in one conceptually congruent approach whose main criterion is actual profitability in triple analytical segmentation. The difference is caused by characteristic features of products in a banking sector, further by concrete form of production process and thus closely related system of responsibility management.
