... Another approach to analyzing the uses of EMA is to look at their various functional roles. In interpreting the role of management accounting (or EMA), traditionally planning, decision making, controlling, and performance evaluation functions have been considered (CIMA, 2005;Drury, 2009;Bhimani et al., 2011). Scholars (Drury, 2009;Bhimani et al., 2011;Tillema, 2005) broadly divide these functions into accountability (control or stewardship) and decision-making. ...

Despite the popularity of environmental management accounting as an approach to support corporate cleaner production measures, so far, how the environmental management accounting implementation differs according to the stage of cleaner production strategy development is largely unknown. This study thus sought to identify how the uses of environmental management accounting and information characteristics vary among organizations at different stages of cleaner production strategy development. Drawing on the contingency theory view of environmental management accounting system sophistication, cleaner production strategy development stages, and environmental management accounting uses, it developed an analytical framework. Based on eighteen case studies of business in Sri Lanka, the study analyzed the different domain-based and functional uses of environmental management accounting and their characteristics according to their cleaner production strategy development (i.e., reactive, preventive and proactive stages). Overall, the study found that environmental management accounting uses to be limited and fragmented in organizations at the reactive and preventive stages except for using environmental management accounting for cost savings and efficiency improvements. However, the findings suggest that as and when organizations progress into higher levels of cleaner production strategy development, there is a relatively high level of use of environmental management accounting in terms of integrative tools, and for control and stewardship purposes.

La forma de operar de los sistemas de costos es a través de la medición de la acumulación, la cual abarca i) identificar los costos acumulados hasta un objeto de costo y ii) asignar costos acumulados a un objeto de costo (Bhimani et al., 2008). Estos procedimientos implican la posibilidad de utilizar costos reales, costos históricos, costos estimados o costos presupuestados. ...

This paper aims to approach a critical understanding of the power regimes that underlie management accounting practices. To do this, we carried out a literature review and a critical reflection on the euphemisms that structure costing systems in organizations and the forms of modeling applied by these systems, addressing various heterodox perspectives of accounting research. Methodologically, this work is based on a review of 145 documents published in Colombian accounting journals-of which less than 4% can be placed within critical approaches-and the identification of 27 paradigmatic texts in the critical perspectives of management accounting. As results and contributions, we present an analysis of the review carried out and parallels between the classic processes of segregation by traditional costing systems, their use as control devices, and the participation of accounting in the establishment of power regimes in organizations.

Purpose and Scope: Throughput accounting (TA) is used to increase the profitability level of businesses. According to the theory of constrains (TOC) philosophy, it enables the constraints in the system to increase the profitability level and to see the financial impact of the improvements made. This system allows business managers to easily examine the effects of direct materials cost, production processes, and events. It also facilitates production and cost planning and control. The study, it is aimed to solve the product mix problem of a production enterprise operating in the agricultural machinery sector by using the throughput accounting method. When the literature is examined, the fact that productivity accounting has not been applied before in a production enterprise operating in the agricultural machinery sector constitutes the originality of the study. In addition, product mix of four different products was applied in the study. Design/methodology/approach: Product mix, which is an important decision area in terms of cost management; it has been applied in an enterprise producing agricultural machinery, and the cost, production, and market data used were built on the assumption. In business; four different agricultural machines are produced which agricultural car (trailer), tractor plow, cultivator, and chemical fertilizer spreader machine. Two product mixes were created. These are the product mix to maximize the efficiency and the efficiency per machine hour for each product. Findings: Hypothetical financial information of the enterprise producing agricultural machinery was given. The machine hours required to ensure that all the demands on agricultural machinery in the enterprise are enough has been calculated as 480 hours. However, the potential production capacity of the enterprise was 450 hours. Therefore, it is not enough for all of the requests. This situation shows that there was a capacity constraint. Two separate income statements based on the theory of constraints in an enterprise producing agricultural machinery were prepared: by share of yield and by yield per machine hour. In product mix 1, the tractor plow comes first. This is followed by the agricultural car (trailer), cultivator and chemical fertilizer spreader machine. In the product mix 2, the chemical fertilizer spreader is in the first place. This is followed by the agricultural car (trailer), the cultivator and the tractor plow. According to the theory of constraints of the enterprise producing agricultural machinery; TL (Turkish Lira) 676,000 operating profit has been calculated according to the yield share. TL 725,000 operating profit has been calculated according to efficiency per machine hour. As a result of the application of productivity accounting in the enterprise producing agricultural machinery, two income statements were created according to two different product mixes. As a result of the theory of constraints applied in the enterprise, 725,000 – 676,000 = 49,000 TL extra profit can be obtained. It can be stated that the comparison of the income statements of the two different product mix approaches made can guide the business managers in production and profit planning. However, in order for the generation enterprise to increase its income, it is necessary to improve the capacity restriction. Conclusion and Discussion: In the study, two separate income statements based on the theory of constraints in an enterprise producing agricultural machinery were prepared: by share of yield and by yield per machine hour. As a result of the comparison made, it determined that the highest operating profit is the efficiency per machine hour. Kırlı (2016) determined the production decision of the products according to the high yield contribution. Albez (2020) found that taking the yield rate per machine hour as the basis for the product mix (with two products) compared to the higher one would increase the operating profit. In future studies on throughput accounting, the benefits of the method such as improving capacity constraints in production enterprises, increasing financial balance, and reducing unnecessary actions and costs related to this should be made more apparent. Managers focus on improving the limitations in direct raw material and material expenses, which are variable depending on the production volume, and focus on productivity because they consider other expenses as constant. In this context, it is recommended to compare the financial performance of companies that apply throughput accounting and those that do not, in production enterprises operating in the same sector.

... It is commonly used method in the determination of short duration project with less consideration on fixed cost in profitability analysis [10] which was the case in this study since majority of the farmers utilize the fixed costs (such as hand hoes and ox-ploughs) a cross several farm enterprises. Where, Gross Margin = ∑ (GFR-TVC) Where: GFR= Gross field revenue and TVC= total variable costs [4]. The knowledge generated from this study will be important in facilitating further interventions in soil fertility and weed management as well as enable farmers to make informed decisions in adopting fertilizer micro-dosing technique as well as timely management of weeds to maximize productivity in finger millet crop production. ...

Despite the recommendation for fertilizer use in crop production by research, there is a low rate of adoption among farmers. The low adoption rate of fertilizer usage has been partly attributed to high costs of fertilizer in addition to use of agronomic recommendation without fertilizer economic analysis. The study therefore, set out to determine the profitability of fertilizer micro dosing and weeding regimes in finger millet production in eastern Uganda. A randomized complete block design in split plot treatment arrangement with three replications was used. Weeding regime treatments were the main plot and fertilizer micro dosing treatments as the sub plots. The treatments included: different micro dosing rates of nitrogen and phosphorus, weeding regimes and SEREMI II finger millet variety. Nitrogen was applied in the form of urea (46%), in two splits of 50% each at vegetative and flowering stages respectively. The results of the study indicate that weeding once at 20 Days After Sowing (DAS) and a combination of N and P (16.6 kg N ha-1 and 10.6 kg P ha-1) fertilizer micro dose application is the most profitable combination and could make farmers earn up to Uganda shillings 1,984.220 per hectare compared to only Uganda shillings 373,000 from none application of fertilizer. We therefore conclude that finger millet producers can achieve higher economic and environmental gains when weeding is done once at 20 DAS in combination with sole P fertilizer micro dosing applied at 10.6 kg P ha-1 .

This book brings together segmental knowledge and creates new insights on the sustainability of agricultural systems, critically analyzing not only individual system components, but also focusing on interactions between them and external environments. This book is primarily devoted to (1) agricultural agribusiness, (2) policies and institutions, and (3) farming systems. The compelling collection of chapters presents critical, comparative, and balanced perspectives on what changes are needed to achieve and maintain sustainability in agricultural systems, actively leading to new ways of thinking about these complex issues. The research presented relies on an array of methods developed within complex systems science, addresses the existing gaps in the scholarship, and uses original data collected on the development of agricultural systems. Finally, the authors provide robust conclusions and recommendations for both scholars and practitioners in the field of studying, constructing, and maintaining sustainable agricultural systems. The special focus of the book is on technologies, policies, and management systems enabling sustainable agricultural development. A rich collection of practical cases could be used to move from theories to reality. The book appeals to both academics and professionals working in the field.

The paper aims to develop a model of management budget for the primary and auxiliary business processes in organizations of the wine industry. The model allows us to keep track of the costs of subprocesses and technological stages and to determine the costs of growing grapes and producing wine. It also guides the necessary information for making current and strategic decisions in achieving the planned results.
