Modern society isinseparable from what
is called accounting. However, accounting
applied today, both for-profit and non-
profit companies, has actually undergone
an evolution. Since the beginning of
1980s, business have been challenged by
some problems, such as the keener
competition and world-wide competition.
The major cause of those problems is the
changing business paradigm from
producer-driven to customer-
driven. Advanced technology that has
replaced the traditional and manual
technology has accelerated the
companies to change their
business style.
Epstein and Le assert that the first
management accounting revolution, later
known as the "modern" management
accounting period,
began in the late 1950s and ended in the
early 1980s. This period was marked by new
research. Therefore, academic accountants
provide managers with a new decision-
making tool. Management accounting is still
in its infancy. Historically, it has been a
secondary function of financial accounting,
and in many organizations, it remains only a
by-product of the financial reporting
process.
