Here you can find the profit from an "area of responsibility or person" point of view.this is account based costing.

Whereas in Profitability analysis, market segments based on product , customer,order or any combination of these are studied to find whats the profit. PA provides information to the marketing,sales and planning department so that they can make decisions. PA has two forms account based and CO based.

both these are tools for profit management, and both are alternative. They are not same.
