Journal Title: Revista CEA - Year 2024, Vol 10, Issue 22
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to explore Management Accounting Practices (MAPs) in Indonesia and the impact that Covid-19 had on them. It also aims to establish the factors that affected MPAs during the pandemic, and the effect that these practices had on business performance. Design/methodology: Descriptive and verification methods were used. The former was employed to detail MAPs in manufacturing companies in Indonesia and the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic had on these practices. The verification method (using multiple linear regression) was employed to examine the factors that influence their MAPs and the effect of these practices on business performance. This study used primary data obtained from controllers who work for different Indonesian manufacturing companies. The total sample was composed of 41 questionnaire responses. Findings: This paper shows that most manufacturing companies in Indonesia have adopted MAPs for cost systems, decision-making, business strategies, and advanced manufacturing technology. In general, these MAPs are at Stage 4 as defined by the IFAC. This means that, in Indonesia, MAPs are implemented to create value and maintain companies’ sustainability in the era of Industry 4.0. Conclusions: The pandemic increased the implementation of MAPs, which had a significant effect on the intensity of market competition and firm performance. The results of this study support Statement 1 on Management Accounting by the IFAC, according to which accounting practices in Stage 4 are focused on the effective use of organizational resources to create value. Originality: This study focuses on manufacturing companies in Indonesia and the period of the Covid-19 pandemic, which brought about special conditions that impacted business operations. These results are in line with changes in the current business environment, and companies can consider them to create value and continuously improve their performance.
