Recent techniques and shifts in the environment are often viewed as leading management accountants to adopt a business orientation. However, empirical evidence pointing to clear shifts in the role played by management accountants remains relatively scarce. From in-depth qualitative research based on 73 interviews in ten multinational companies, we identify four distinct styles of management accounting function: discrete, safeguarding, partner, and omnipotent. We show that each style can be associated with one main role: discrete control of managerial behaviour, socialisation of managers, facilitation of decision-making, and centralisation of power. From this in-depth analysis of management accountants' styles and roles we move on to discuss the authority they hold and the independence/involvement dilemma they face.

Download The Role of the Management Accountant Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
There is considerable national variation in the professionalization and status of the management accountant. Although researchers from different countries have contributed to our knowledge about tasks and roles, we have limited insights into the development, education, and socio-cultural influences in different countries and surprisingly little is known about the local and national contexts in which these roles are learned and performed. This book bridges this research gap using two complementary perspectives. The first part explores management accountants in a range of different national contexts, providing information about country-specific historical developments and educational standards as well as specific roles and tasks. The second part focusses on important global developments that will increasingly impact management accountants in the future, such as sustainability, the financial crisis, technology and changing roles. By combining local context with a global overview, this insightful volume provides an agenda for future research which will be of great interest to scholars and advanced students in management accounting throughout the world.

Download The Changing Role of the Management Accountants Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book presents a comprehensive and holistic study on being a financial practitioner today. Using a practice theory approach, the book analyzes the work life stories of four financial practitioners who have been working between 13 and 25 years during the period of 1973 to 2015 and explains how their work identities are constituted in the practices throughout the years. It clarifies the public image of the management accountants and provides a better understanding of today’s management accountants—who they are and how they are formed—while theorizing on how to develop the next generation.

Download How Management Accountants' Cognitive Style and Role Involvement Combine to Affect the Effort Devoted to Initiating Change Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This study examines how management accountants' cognitive style combines with their role involvement to affect not only the level of effort they devote to initiating change in their management accounting practices, but also how radical those changes are. While management accountants' cognitive style is likely to be an important indicator of the level of effort devoted to initiating change, the role they occupy in the organization (described in terms of role involvement) is also likely to be important as a means through which their efforts can be facilitated. The results from a survey of management accountants indicate that cognitive style had a positive but not significant direct effect on the level of effort management accountants devote to initiating change but, as hypothesized, there was a significant indirect effect via the mediating variable of role involvement. Moreover, this indirect relationship was more significant for radical changes than non-radical changes.

Essay from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1, University of Innsbruck, language: English, abstract: Controlling is the process of monitoring and analyzing activities for making sure that they are accomplished as planned and correcting any deviations. However, in the course of time, the area of responsibility of management accountants has changed. In the following essay we show the changing role of management accountants in recent time and in different cultures. In the first part of our paper we discuss the role of controllers and how it changed in recent time. The second part is about the four types of management accountants, which are the "discrete" type, the "safeguarding" type, the "partner" and the "omnipotent" controller, based on a field study conducted by Lambert and Sponem. With the help of a case study about problems in the daily life of controllers in a french aeronautics firm form Morales and Lambert we will show different inconveniences, which come along frewuently with the modern type of management accounting. Another question we will discuss in this essay deals with the controller's role in different cultures of several countries, where a paper by Granlund and Lukka was taken as the basis. In the last part we included some practical experiences which were gained in a practicum made by Patrick and we try to compare these experiences with the theoretical part of our essay in order to check the findings from the three afore mentioned papers our work is based upon.
