Comparative study of management accounting system models on company performance in Indonesia and Malaysia financial institutions

Abstract

This study compares the management accounting system (MAS) model used by financial institutions registered with Financial Services Authority in Malaysia and Indonesia to ascertain how each affects company performance and identify any differences. A comparative study was used to compare the MAS models in the two nations. A quantitative study of 313 accounting and finance managers in financial firms from 160 firms registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) in Indonesia was obtained using a simple random technique. The Covariance Base Structural Equation Model (CB-SEM) was used for data analysis using Lisrel. In addition, a literature review of model comparisons was conducted using prior research findings on the MAS model at financial institutions listed on the Central Bank of Malaysia website. The results of the research in Malaysia demonstrate the impact of the MAS model, which was developed through the three variables of market competition intensity, technological advancement, and innovation on the company's non-financial performance. The research results in Indonesia also demonstrate the impact of the MAS model, which was developed through the three variables of management strategy, support, and competence on the company's financial performance. This study demonstrates how the variables created by the two models are used differently.
