This book describes and analyzes the nature of management accounting practices in several Asian countries. It addresses an important gap in accounting literature as there are few accessible published information about management accounting in Asia. Both theoretical and empirical studies are included in this book. It discusses the impact of Japanese management accounting practices and the development of management accounting in China. There are also surveys of management accounting practices in Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand, together with case studies from Japan and China. The book clearly identifies the features of management accounting in Asia and compares it to those of the West. This book would be of interest to researchers, practitioners and university students interested in the current state of management accounting practices in Asia.
