    In the Ninja Notes, it says cost accounting has an external focus and follows GAAP, and that managerial accounting has an internal focus and does not follow GAAP. Isn’t cost accounting and managerial accounting the same thing, and that financial accounting[ is what has an external focus and follows GAAP?
