Slow current modernization reforms in the economic sector have significantly weakened the competitiveness of enterprises in EU; therefore, there is a great need for new tools in the managerial decision-making process. Information provision of the decision-making process on expediency of investment activity in the form of capital investments is formed within thelimits of strategic management accounting. In the research except for various analytical methods (analysis, synthesis, comparison, grouping, etc.) a “decisions tree” method is used for choosinga reasonable solution. In the study, strategic management accounting has been defined as a separate kind of management accounting, which involves generation of high-quality information. Certain tools may be applied within it for the decisions made by managers, based on established business partnership with successful implementation of business strategy. Five most widespread groups of tools of strategic management accounting are cost accounting; planning, monitoringand evaluation of effectiveness; strategic decisions; competitor accounting; customer accounting.It is recommended to complete the list of instruments integrated within the five groupsby a separate group – a specific category of supplier accounting that would contribute to the generation of more complete and qualitative information provision for the process of making managerial decisions on the appropriateness of capital investments in the investment activityof the enterprise in EU. The research made it possible to reach the following conclusions. Important components should be taken into account in order to fulfil strategic management accountingof the company in a proper way. Those are data sources choice, collecting and processing of information, choice of instruments of strategic management accounting, formation of internal regulation of strategic management accounting, development and supply of accountingand analytical information; process of solutions development, and the choice, which canprovide generation of necessary information for competitive managerial decisions made by managers. Application of advanced tools for strategic management accounting, which give information to meet issues related to the characteristics of consumers, competitors, suppliers, project costs, assessment of investment feasibility in the project, is caused by the necessity of competitive decision-making with the help of the above-offered decisions tree tool usage

Strategic Management Accounting

The urgency of considering the balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting has been substan-tiated. The factors influencing the choice of methods of strategic management accounting of a particular enterprise have been highlighted (specific features of economic activity of the enterprise; specific features of the strategic management system of the enterprise; availability of free financial resources to build an information system of strategic management accounting of the en-terprise; management and accounting traditions). The approaches of Ukrainian scientists to the choice of methods of strategic management accounting have been analyzed. The advantages of the balanced scorecard in comparison with other methods of strategic management accounting have been considered. The essence of the balanced scorecard as a method of strategic man-agement accounting and the goal of each of its perspectives have been revealed. Proposals for the development of a balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting in the research of Ukrainian scientists have been analyzed. The influence of the balanced scorecard system implementation on the transformation of system of information provision of strategic management of the enterprise in the context of the four basic directions has been analyzed (clarifying the vision and translating it into strategy; establishing communications and communication; implementation of planning and goal setting; establishing stra-tegic feedback). The procedure for constructing strategic maps of different levels in a balanced scorecard has been considered. The reasons for the possibility of understanding the balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting have been determined (strategic orientation, external orientation, future orientation, application of financial and non-financial indica-tors). A balanced system of indicators is considered as a new method of strategic management accounting, using a process approach to understanding the enterprise, providing an integrated approach to strategic and financial analysis, providing a com-prehensive analysis of the enterprise (internal and external environment). The main ways of development of engineering bases of construction of system of strategic financial accounting are allocated and analyzed.Keywords: strategic management accounting, balanced scorecard, strategic accounting information, strategic control.Обґрунтовано актуальність розгляду збалансованої системи показників як методу стратегічного управлінського обліку.

Advanced Version

When management accounting was introduced as an advanced version of cost accounting after second world war its early advocates had claimed that it would make accounting more useful in assisting managers in their decision making function. As the discipline has failed to live up to the promise now strategic management accounting has been presented as a messiah for the discipline of accounting. New promises have been made that while the traditional management accounting failed to make use of strategic thinking and other qualitative aspects of management the new discipline is likely to make accounting more relevant and important for managers. The empirical evidence on successful diffusion of strategic management accounting is still not overwhelming. It is therefore yet to be seen if strategic management accounting can live up to its promise in future or not.

Subject. The article focuses on the advanced time-driven tools for allocating overhead expenses, which are based on process-based budgeting. Objectives. We articulate a technique for cost allocation so as to assess the cost of each process with reference to the common time driver. Methods. The study relies upon methods of systematization, classification, analogy and comparison, and summarizes the scientific literature on the subject. Results. The article presents our own suggestions on implementing TD-ABC and TD-ABB into the strategic management accounting process of developer companies. The principles were proved to help more effectively allocate overhead expenses and assess the capacity load of each process performed by functions, departments and employees. Carrying out a comparative analysis, we found certain reserves for utilizing resources more effectively. Conclusions and Relevance. The findings are of scientific and practical significance and can be used by developer and construction businesses. The conclusions can prove helpful for scientific papers, student books, and further research.
