Introduction
Conventional management accounting practices were geared towards providing information to aid managers in internal decision making in a firm and as such the focus of the management accounting systems has also tended to be internally orientated. In the late 1980s, scholars and academics particularly (Johnson and Kaplan, 1987; Bromwich and Bhimani, 1989) noticed that the traditional management accounting was not adjusting to changes in the modern business environment hence was fall short of its basic function as an aid to managers in formulating policies and decision making. It is to fulfill the need to enhance the quality of management accounting information for managers it was necessary to focus more widely on the external environment of the firm and thus the concept of strategic management accounting developed. Strategic Management Accounting therefore came into being as a result of a quest for a substitute to the conventional management accounting in providing more relevant and reliable information for competitive advantage. SMA involves the provision of information, which is externally orientated, market-driven and customer-focused and provides managers with a range of techniques and tools to facilitate strategically-orientated decision making.
