8th Change in the role of Management Accountant
The suggestions in the literature is the role of Management Accountant speed changes, and this is one of the main reasons is the implementation of ERP systems by the respondents (Aidan O ‘Mahony, John Doran, 2008) supported. This is consistent with similar literature där research shows that ERP systems have only a limited influence on Management Accounting Practices (Fahy and Lynch, 1999, Granlund and Malmi, 2002; Scape and Jazayeri, 2003).

One of the most interesting results of the study are the problems that arise where an ERP system can be adapted to the needs of a company against Becomes highlighted. This is partly due to the fact that an ERP vendor support April observe an over-individual systems. It is well documented that there was a shift Accountant in the role of management.

Accounting staff feel that ERP allows them to expand their role and place of production figures can be time for further analysis and value-adding activities in areas such as cost control. An interesting finding of this study is in reference to the idea of non-Becoming Management Accountants Accountants. Before the introduction of the ERP system accounting officer had completed only by personnel in the financial sector. The introduction of the ERP system allows the speed of tasks such as reporting and record bookings are completed by non-Management Accountants. But despite this, based core accounting activities to complete Accountants be completed by the Finance staff. From these findings, the authors would argue that ERP is a positive effect on Management Accountants. Although there are negatives, the general view is that the positive rate of ERP outweigh the negatives father.
