Abstract

This study explores the changes as well as potential association among environmental factors, management accounting practices and organisational factors in Malaysian manufacturing companies in the Klang Valley. Results of the study showed that the majority of the responding companies have reacted positively to changes in competitive business environment and advanced manufacturing technology. Increased changes are also reported in management accounting practices and organisational factors (namely structure, strategy and performance). A positive significant association is found among all of the variables except for competitive environment and advanced manufacturing technologies with performance. This research provides useful insights into management accounting practises and organisational change in Malaysia
