Abstract

Managerial accounting tools are vital controlling techniques to businesses. Nevertheless, the acceptance of managerial accounting tools in business might challenge directors in Tra Vinh’s business environment. The current research employed multiple regression analyses to investigate the influence of the acceptance of managerial accounting tools in Tra Vinh’s enterprises. The empirical findings demonstrate the usefulness of managerial accounting tools, environmental uncertainty, the structure of corporate governance, organizational interdependence and organizational size have positive impacts on the acceptance of managerial accounting tools in business. The structure of corporate governance and the usefulness of managerial accounting tools are the two strongest factors determining the acceptance of managerial accounting tools in business. The current research will help directors in Tra Vinh’s enterprises establish efficient managerial accounting tools in business that are suitable to the usefulness of managerial accounting tools, environmental uncertainty, the structure of corporate governance, organizational interdependence, and organizational size, so that they can gain the best possible effectiveness.
