Abstract

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems are among the most topical subjects in the current business environment. Organisations implement these systems to become more efficient as well as integrate and modernise the whole business. This study examines the impact of ERP systems on the changing role of the management accountant. The main objective of this research is to investigate the role of ERP in an organisation and examine the impact that ERP has on the role of the management accountant as it evolves from a traditional role to a more dynamic involvement in the business.
