, If management accounting is to play this role in strategic management, it must provide managers not only with
internal, financial information, but also with information, both financial and non-financial, about the
environment in which the firm is operating: strategic management accounting.

Varying information needs at different stages of the strategic decision-making process:

- Strategic problem identification stage

- Assessment of strategic alternatives

- Evaluation of strategic actions

Thus traditional management accounting information is insufficient for strategic decision-making




The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) defines strategic management accounting as “the
provision and analysis of management accounting data about a business and its competitors, for use in developing
and monitoring business strategy”.

Strategic management accounting (SMA) is the process of identifying, gathering, and analysing accounting data
for helping the management team to make strategic decisions and to assess organisational effectiveness.
