Understand the different types of accounting mentioned in the problem: Tax Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Financial Accounting, and Governmental Accounting.

Recognize that the question is asking about the type of accounting that provides information to internal users, such as managers, for decision-making purposes.

Learn the definition of Managerial Accounting: It focuses on providing financial and non-financial information to internal users (e.g., managers) to assist in planning, controlling, and decision-making within an organization.
