Financial Management

The main function of accounting management: the application of financial management
technology to generate, interpret and provide financial data to facilitate decision-making.
Financial Management System: A range of activities that ensure effective financial management
and risk management. Financial new and advanced technologies to create integrated and
integrated financial systems that generate business benefits and risks associated with new
technologies. Cost control and effective financial planning: use data about past performance,
known information and forecasts to control costs and support operational plans. Internal and
external controls: Understand what control is and why internal and external controls are
important. Use financial management to detect and prevent abuse: understand what fraud is, the
impact of fraud, and the techniques used to detect and prevent compromises. Management
accountants are one of the main players in the management accounting system. Therefore, it can
be assumed that the management account and its role have been developed after the MCS has
changed. Many definitions are used to define accounting management. According to three
surveys (2015), the industry can find the following titles: accounting management, control
management, financial director, financial director, accounting, etc. For example, in Germany,
locations are more likely to be called “controllers” and in the UK “government counters are used
more often” (Ahrens and Chapman, 2000, CIMA, ND). -a, Hoffjan, Nevries and Stienemann,
2009) In addition, many task definitions can be found in the literature (Paulsson, 2015).
To understand the role of management accounting in the organization, he seems to be
able to understand the location of the organization's information and responsibility lines. The
hierarchical position of accounting management may depend on the size of the company. In large
companies, the functions of controllers and treasurers are becoming more and more difficult to
segment (businessmen and Van der Stede, 2007). Administrators can pass CFOs, who are usually
responsible for finance and accounting (business Supervised with Van der Stede, 2007). He can
also be considered a direct supervisor of the company's general manager (Roman, Roman and
Meier, 2014). Merchant and van der Stede (2007) point out that controller functions can be
organized in two ways: Alternative A and B
Decisions on appropriate structures can be based on consideration of the level of ideal
relationship between decentralization and management coordination decisions. The most
decentralized option (variant A) can be assumed to create controller functionality. Higher-level

controllers focus on the overall performance of the company, and if coordination is required
between users, option B. various business units may be preferred. The first option displays the
report line from the business unit controller to the corresponding manager. Ask the controller to
report directly to the manager. The second option is to send the report directly to the enterprise
controller (top level controller). According to Merchant and van der Stede (2007), both options
have their advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the reported dashed line (variant A) ensures
a good relationship between the partition controller and the right person.
However, if the compensation system is based on the performance of the unit, the
controller's opinion may be biased, but the hierarchical relationship (option B) enables the
controller to participate in general social goals and values. At such a level, the controller can be
considered a "guardian" by his departmental colleagues. As a result, management has less
management of relationships with departments (Merchant & van der Stede, 2007). The author
believes that the weaknesses associated with the first option can be overcome through
management control or internal audit, personnel control and cultural capabilities, and the design
of the compensation system. In particular, organizational and organizational factors influence the
organization of organizational accounting roles in a company.

Changing role of management accountants

Based on the discussion of the evolution of the concept of management accounting, it is clear
that the role of management accountants cannot be maintained for the same decades. It turns out
that many studies have been devoted to rethinking management accountants. (Burn et.al. stated
that evidence changes were examined and passed through some case studies and Empirical
research in different countries tests these key outcomes in general. The direction of change and
the influencing factors can be believed to be the opposite of consultants or partners in the general
accounting management change. It can be said that the usual "accounts" related to the traditional
role of management accounting, especially Emphasis on accounting, transaction processing
arrangements and dual (Ahid et.al.2008).
The new role of accounting management is often associated with a partner who tends to
value creation, strategic positioning, consulting management and decision making (Ahid and
Augustin, 2012 Help; Collins, 2012; Ernst & Young, 2008 Nielsen, Olve & Parment, 2011). In
