Abstract/Summary

This paper aims to acquire a broad overview of the nature and scope of management accounting in top manufacturing companies in the Philippines. Also, this study would help in determining the management accounting practices and its importance in the future. Furthermore, it would also assist in relating the effectiveness of management accounting to the profitability of a firm. In order to answer these problems, the proponents conducted a survey specifically addressed to the Vice President-Finance, Chief Controller, or to the person deemed to be responsible in managing the Finance and/or Accounting department. In addition, they have computed for profitability measurements namely, Net Profit Margin and Return on Equity. Through this study, they found out that existence of management accounting adds value and is vital to the organization. It is being practiced by most of the top corporations in the Philippines. These management accounting practices may coincide with what is being applied in other countries however, it is yet to be established and be distinct in the Philippines.
