Das Rechnungswesen wird in zwei Hauptbereiche unterteilt: die Finanzbuchhaltung (FiBu) und die Betriebsbuchhaltung (BeBu). Beide erfüllen unterschiedliche Aufgaben und liefern wichtige Informationen für verschiedene Zielgruppen im Unternehmen.

• Finanzbuchhaltung (FiBu):
  Sie ist gesetzlich vorgeschrieben und dokumentiert alle Geschäftsvorfälle eines Unternehmens – also Aufwände, Erträge, Vermögen und Schulden. Ziel ist es, eine möglichst exakte und nachvollziehbare Übersicht über die finanzielle Lage zu erstellen, die auch für externe Anspruchsgruppen wie Steuerbehörden oder Investoren relevant ist.
• Betriebsbuchhaltung (BeBu):
  Sie ist freiwillig und konzentriert sich auf die innerbetriebliche Sicht. Sie zeigt, wo genau Kosten entstehen, welche Leistungen erbracht werden und wie wirtschaftlich einzelne Bereiche arbeiten. Die BeBu dient in erster Linie der Unternehmensführung als internes Steuerungsinstrument.

Zusammengefasst:
Während die FiBu nach aussen orientiert ist und den gesetzlichen Anforderungen entspricht, liefert die BeBu detaillierte Informationen zur Optimierung von Prozessen und Kosten innerhalb des Unternehmens.

Beide Buchhaltungsarten bilden gemeinsam die Grundlage für fundierte Entscheidungen, Investitionsplanungen und eine nachhaltige Unternehmensentwicklung.

Welche Inhalte in einem Lehrgang zur Finanzbuchhaltung oder Betriebsbuchhaltung im Detail behandelt werden, kann von Schule zu Schule unterschiedlich sein. Jede Bildungsinstitution legt selbst fest, wie die Schwerpunkte gesetzt werden. Nutze unser Kontaktformular, um deine Frage direkt an die gewünschte Schule weiterzuleiten.
