The article deals with the problems that arise during the implementation of the concept of modern management accounting for Ukrainian enterprises by introducing new accounting systems and developing approaches to accounting and information generalization of transaction costs in order to effectively manage them in the globalized economy. The existing system of introduction of management accounting at enterprises is examined and the introduction of management accounting on foreign examples is considered, namely the balanced system of indicators, which is already actively used abroad and is just beginning its development in Ukraine. The research of this topic is related to the change of accounting information systems in modern conditions and the need to create a global accounting system, and adjustments are made to management accounting functions. The article compares and defines the distinctive features of accounting, and its composition of financial, tax and management accounting. A clear algorithm for the construction of this system at the enterprise and indicators that must be calculated for a complete and independent analysis of the work of the enterprise are distinguished and described. The ambiguous interpretation of the concept of managerial accounting in the course of its evolutionary development has led to the study of this topic. The article presents a system of metrics that are calculated within the Balanced Scorecard system used by the enterprise. The problems of implementing a balanced scorecard based on the experience of corporations already using the system are also discussed. The lack of legal and legislative framework to stimulate and encourage the introduction of this concept into the practice of management accounting in Ukraine leads to the unsatisfactory functioning of this system. According to the results of the research, the recommendations on the introduction of management accounting in the system of economic monitoring of activity in the conditions of globalization are given.

Strategic Goals

In their study, Relevance Lost: The Rise and Fall of Management Accounting, Johnson and Kaplan concluded that management accounting systems since the 1980s have failed to meet the new challenges of a changing environment. Among other things, because managerial accounting has been subordinated to the needs of financial accounting. Financial accounting cannot provide adequate information to management and does not support strategic decision making. The reason for this can be found in the operational logic of financial accounting. Financial accounting is past-oriented, it evaluates (economic) events in money, and thinks in the short term. Would all this mean that financial accounting data cannot be used to support long-term decisions? In our study, we point out the connection between financial accounting data assets and strategic decision support. Our research question focuses on how financial accounting data, including an invoice issued by a company, can be used in Balanced Scorecard perspectives. Based on the content of the Balanced Scorecard, we want to point out where and what kind of relationship can be observed between financial accounting data assets and the BSC. Through a case study, we will present the strategic goals as well as the indicators suitable for measuring the goals. These will be presented for all aspects of the Balanced Scorecard.

Starting Point

Despite being widely pilloried, bureaucratic processes are present in many organizations as a form of neo-bureaucracy. In this paper, we analyse whether a technique used in Management Accounting Systems (MAS), known as the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), represents a bureaucratic order. We propose the following set of concepts to identify a bureaucratic order: authority, jurisdiction, professional qualifications, knowledge, rationality, discipline, accountability, systematization and transparency. We discuss the presence of such a set of concepts in the design and implementation of the BSC and conclude that the BSC is an example of a neo-bureaucratic order. This paper also underlines another important finding, the value of bureaucracy in attaining good MAS. The theme we explore is overlooked in the accounting literature. This paper can be a starting point for further research. A pesar de haber sido ampliamente criticado, los procesos burocráticos están presente en muchos modelos organizacionales como una forma de neo-burocracia. En este artículo analizamos si una técnica utilizada en los Sistemas de contabilidad de gestión (MAS), conocida como Balanced Scorecard (BSC), representa una orden burocrática. Proponemos el siguiente conjunto de conceptos para identificar una orden burocrática: autoridad, jurisdicción, calificaciones profesionales, conocimiento, racionalidad, disciplina, responsabilidad, sistematización y transparencia. Discutimos la presencia de dicho conjunto de conceptos en la concepción e implementación del BSC y concluimos que el BSC es un ejemplo de un orden neo-burocrático. Este trabajo también subraya otro hallazgo importante, el valor de la burocracia para lograr un buen MAS. El tema que exploramos se pasa por alto en la literatura contable. Este artículo puede ser un punto de partida para futuras investigaciones.

During the past ten years management accounting has been frequently criticized by many researchers, who have then suggested ways to improve management accounting systems. As a result various companies have modified their accounting information systems by incorporating some of the suggested changes. Unfortunately, little research has been presented which analyzes managers' reactions to management accounting system changes (Bamber, 1993). This paper provides an overview of a company that upgraded its accounting information system by adopting some of the suggested changes. Results from questionnaires administered before the change, shortly after the change, and about one year after the change were used to provide a comparison of managers' reactions to the changes. The company, in this study, incorporated various changes suggested in the literature by providing managers with real-time databases and involving managers during the development of the new system. In response to the changes, the managers indicated they were more satisfied with the accounting department and the data provided and they now focused more on production quantity then previously. Therefore, the company appears to have successfully implemented changes in their accounting information system, which improved managers satisfaction with the system.

Strategic Management Accounting

The urgency of considering the balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting has been substan-tiated. The factors influencing the choice of methods of strategic management accounting of a particular enterprise have been highlighted (specific features of economic activity of the enterprise; specific features of the strategic management system of the enterprise; availability of free financial resources to build an information system of strategic management accounting of the en-terprise; management and accounting traditions). The approaches of Ukrainian scientists to the choice of methods of strategic management accounting have been analyzed. The advantages of the balanced scorecard in comparison with other methods of strategic management accounting have been considered. The essence of the balanced scorecard as a method of strategic man-agement accounting and the goal of each of its perspectives have been revealed. Proposals for the development of a balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting in the research of Ukrainian scientists have been analyzed. The influence of the balanced scorecard system implementation on the transformation of system of information provision of strategic management of the enterprise in the context of the four basic directions has been analyzed (clarifying the vision and translating it into strategy; establishing communications and communication; implementation of planning and goal setting; establishing stra-tegic feedback). The procedure for constructing strategic maps of different levels in a balanced scorecard has been considered. The reasons for the possibility of understanding the balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting have been determined (strategic orientation, external orientation, future orientation, application of financial and non-financial indica-tors). A balanced system of indicators is considered as a new method of strategic management accounting, using a process approach to understanding the enterprise, providing an integrated approach to strategic and financial analysis, providing a com-prehensive analysis of the enterprise (internal and external environment). The main ways of development of engineering bases of construction of system of strategic financial accounting are allocated and analyzed.Keywords: strategic management accounting, balanced scorecard, strategic accounting information, strategic control.Обґрунтовано актуальність розгляду збалансованої системи показників як методу стратегічного управлінського обліку.

Environmental Management Accounting

The main research objective is to develop a conceptual accounting model to reflect the environmental impact generated by the economic activity of Romania’s entities. In order to identify the current stage of the use of environmental accounting by the Romanian economic entities, the questionnaire used was based on a random sample of 377 entities whose economic activity has a significant impact on the environment. The results suggest the need to develop a model for integrating environmental impact into accounting. The model is based on the description of the technological process and determination of the environmental impact on each activity, stage, or procedure of the technological process, which enterprise will integrate its monetary value in the cost of production and will reflect it in the management accounting system, using specific environmental accounting instruments. The model involves five stages, and by combining internal and external information provided by environmental management accounting is a relevant source for substantiating decisions to promote environmental responsibility in Romanian companies.

Dialectical Perspective

Purpose This paper aims to explain institutional contradictions in the balanced scorecard (BSC) implementation process between organizations, which successfully implemented BSC. The purpose of this paper is to identify a comprehensive set of potential determinants influencing the successful implementation of BSC. Design/methodology/approach This study is an exploratory investigation into the BSC implementation based on a dialectical perspective. It uses the triangulation of data collection including interviews, documents and surveys. This also includes a comprehensive scrutiny of the relevant literature; a comprehensive analysis of case studies of BSC implementations in four organizations; and interviews and documents evidences that have already implemented or are in the process of implementing BSC. Findings The BSC was successfully implemented in the organizations, when the accounting systems introduced in these organization had already been institutionalized, that is, accepted and used on day-to-day basis. The dialectical perspective postulates that for change to become institutionalized in the organization, it needs to overcome the problem of embedded agency. This process of change is possible due to the accumulation of institutional contradiction that enables human praxis to introduce change (Seo and Creed, 2002). Research limitations/implications There is a need to empirically test and refine the proposed factors and explore relationships among the various variables by collecting data from organizations that have already implemented BSC. Practical implications The findings of this study are important and relevant to all the different-sized organizations in the different sectors and industries. This study also makes a significant contribution to society in general. Originality/value This paper contributes to the literature on organizational and accounting change that emphasis the crucial role that institutional contradiction plays in the process of BSC implementation. The findings of this study will help management in making crucial decisions and in resource allocations that are required to make the BSC implementation a success.

Modern business conditions require updating approaches to the management system, and, accordingly, managerial accounting. Therefore, the issues of deepening research of sectoral specifics of managerial accounting acquire special importance and its influence on the organization and conduct of this type of accounting. The purpose of writing an article is to study the features of the interpretation of the content of the term "managerial accounting" and their impact on the organization of this type of accounting in agrarian enterprises. Scientists, who investigated history of development of managerial accounting, diverge in thoughts on the period of managerial accounting and to further periodize its development. For the first time, the introduction of managerial accounting in practical activities of national enterprises was violated in October 1998 with the adoption of a Program for reforming the accounting system with the application of international standards. Most western researchers support the statement that managerial accounting is a process of preparing information necessary to manual for management. Investigation of the content of existing definitions of managerial accounting allowed a number of conclusions. First, it concerns the definition of managerial accounting at the legislative level. Since managerial accounting is a comprehensive area of activity, it indicates the need to amend the text of the Law of Accounting and financial statements where these circumstances are not taken into account. Secondly, when developing a methodology for managerial accounting in domestic agrarian enterprises, it is necessary to take into account, except for the world experience of accounting practice, achievements of domestic scientists, as well as the specifics and real state of functioning of business entities. Thirdly, the spectrum of opinions on determining the managerial accounting system is very wide. In this case, the interpretation of its content over time changes has been presented. Fourth, in existing studies and definitions of managerial accounting in agriculture there is no sector color. One of the most important tasks of managerial accounting for managers of agrarian enterprises should be the formation of complete and reliable accounting information on the results of the activities of production and functional divisions of enterprises. Maintaining management accounting at the enterprise should be theoretically substantiated, methodically justified and suitable for practical use. Awareness of the need and desire to introduce managerial accounting is not enough to implement this intention. The size of the enterprise needs to provide information to all levels of management, as well as the ratio of expenses and benefits from the introduction of managerial accounting should be played crucial value.

One of the most important elements of the management system of an educational institution is the accounting of income and expenses for educational programs (OP) and the calculation of the cost of educational and other services. Modern educational institutions are tasked with improving the quality of educational services and increasing their effectiveness. To solve it, the boundaries of their financial and economic independence are expanded. Currently, universities are changing their form of ownership and can be non-profit societies. The change in the system of financing universities involves the development of new mechanisms for managing an educational institution. In these conditions, it becomes inevitable to create and master new accounting systems in educational institutions, which are aimed at ensuring the tasks of effective management of the university. First of all, this applies to the management accounting system. The cost of services rendered is the sum of the university's expenses in monetary form for the implementation of educational and other services. Expanding the financial independence of universities involves the formation of reliable information about the income and expenses of the university in order to manage them. The purpose of this study is to identify the problems of accounting for income and expenses in educational institutions. The implementation of the research goal is facilitated by the use of methods of comparative analysis, synthesis, and graphical method for visualizing the results obtained. The development of the system of management accounting of income and expenses in educational institutions is focused on the formation of an effective system of information and analytical support, which involves the development of methods for accounting of income and expenses, the organization of the system of internal control of income and expenses, determining the features of management reporting of income and expenses. A methodology for income accounting has been developed that reflects the specifics of the activities of educational institutions, combines the calculation of the main income indicators, their reflection on accounts and in the registers of management accounting, and allows you to form the actual indicators of income and expenses. The optimal method of management accounting of expenses is justified, within the framework of which the classification features of the grouping of expenses are proposed, the order of consolidated accounting and the formation of management accounting registers is determined. The method of accounting for expenses will allow you to specify the directions of expenses in the context of activities, sources of funding, structural divisions, individual programs and activities.
