Main Article Content
Abstract
The research problem consists in an attempt to answer the questions that are one of the leading trends of this year's Convention of Accounting Departments: "Is cost accounting and the cost information system adequate to the current economic conditions? Do we identify new challenges for management accounting as a corporate strategy communication tool?”
The objective of the article is to depict the importance of the role played by management accounting and modern varieties of cost accounting in the SME factor in the era of escalating crisis phenomena and increasing pressure on conducting business in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
To achieve the purpose of this study, it was necessary to use the analysis of the published articles as well as to present the conclusions from previous own research in the above field. In this regard, the methods of participatory observation, critical analysis and synthesis were used.
The conducted research allowed for identifying the areas of cost accounting development in the current economic conditions. The analysis indicates that an important factor determining the long-term effectiveness of the company is an appropriate cost management system. The article emphasizes the important role played by modern types of cost accounting in the management of a sustainable enterprise. The issues raised in both scientific and practical publications prove that there is a great interest in strategic cost management and management accounting directed to sustainable development. However, this mainly applies to large enterprises and corporations. The survey questionnaire conducted as part of a larger study allows for the conclusion that the degree of application and interest in modern varieties of cost accounting as tools supporting the management of a sustainable enterprise is, however, low.
The conducted research provides an overview of how the area of interest of representatives of science and practice is changing in relation to cost accounting and management accounting and their tools.
The research carried out allows for the continuation and extension of the discussion on the use of problem cost accounting in the changing social, economic and environmental conditions, especially in enterprises from the SME sector. This study aims to fill this research gap.
