Abstract
This chapter describes the origins of Management Accounting in China and Southeast Asia as a collaborative project undertaken by members of the Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Association. It places the project in the context of the region’s socioeconomic development, gives a brief overview of the subsequent country-specific studies, and highlights some of the studies’ main findings.
The Asia-Pacific Management Accounting Association (APMAA) is a community of academic experts and professional practitioners. It is a forum that supports high-quality research, teaching, continuing education, and policy development with regard to management accounting in the Asia-Pacific region. To do so, APMAA brings together colleagues from all over the world. Accordingly, it creates ideal preconditions for collaborative endeavors.
This volume is the product of one such joint effort. It offers deep insights into the current practice of management accounting in selected countries of East and Southeast Asia that the research team would like to disseminate among persons sharing its interests. Rather than final conclusions, though, the book represents just the beginning of comparative research in this area. Hopefully, it will stimulate discussion among other investigators and motivate them to undertake additional studies in the Asia-Pacific region.
