The expediency of developing strategic management accounting based on the use of a balanced scorecard has been substantiated. The purpose of the article is to identify areas of development of the strategic management accounting system based on the use of a balanced scorecard, as well as obstacles to its effective functioning. The necessity of introducing the position of a strategic management accountant in the conditions of using a balanced scorecard at enterprises has been substantiated. The main differences between a strategic management accountant and a traditional management accountant have been identified. In order to overcome the crisis in the management accounting system, it has been proposed to expand the subject area of the classical management accounting system in order to meet the needs of strategic management of the enterprise. The possibilities of the balanced scorecard to provide comprehensive control and interactive management of the strategic development of the enterprise have been analyzed. The directions for the development of strategic management accounting based on the use of a balanced scorecard have been developed (development of organizational structure for building strategic management accounting system; distinguishing between the functions of strategic management accountants and strategic managers; empirical analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of a balanced scorecard as an accounting tool). Organizational and methodological obstacles that prevent the introduction of a balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting are identified and systematized into three groups. The job functions and strategic tasks of a strategic management accountant have been formed, which will combine traditional accounting functions for the collection and processing of strategic accounting information with analytical, control and communication functions. Organizational and methodological barriers to the smooth implementation of a balanced scorecard as a method of strategic management accounting in the practice of Ukrainian enterprises have been identified and analyzed (associated with improper performance of strategic management functions; associated with improper performance of their functions by strategic accountants; related to the economic and communication problems of the functioning of a balanced scorecard as an accounting tool).

The necessity of the analysis of historical features of formation of the strategic management accounting has been grounded. The peculiarities of the crisis in management accounting in the 1980s have been determined. The requirements to the management accounting system in terms of strategic cost management have been identified. A significant increase in attention to the problems of development of strategic management accounting (demarcation with classical management accounting, separation of methods, empirical research of accounting practice) since the 2000s has been established. The lack of a unified interpretation of the concept of «strategic management accounting» among Ukrainian and foreign scientists has been identified. Characteristic features of strategic management accounting have been determined (development of management accounting with strategic orientation; external orientation (outward-oriented); future orientation (perspective orientation); application of both financial and non-financial typologies of measurement in focus on internal resources and organizational capabilities). The main purpose of strategic management accounting as the creation of information support to achieve competitive advantages and improve the performance of the enterprise has been grounded.

The sustainability of SMEs is supported by various important factors, both financial and non-financial. This study examines non-financial factors, namely the management accounting adoption model on the performance of SMEs in Maluku. The sample of this study consisted of 63 UKM units located in Ambon City, SBB Regency and Central Maluku Regency. The testing of management accounting adoption contingency models is carried out using path analysis. The result showed that management accounting adoption is a mediator of the relationship between the level of innovation and technology adoption in manufacturing activities with the performance of SMEs. However, this study has not succeeded in proving the relationship between manager characteristics and managers' perceptions of environmental uncertainty with the decision to adopt strategic management accounting by business units. These results indicate that there is a need for further introduction to the benefits of a strategic management accounting system as an important instrument in streamlining the business value chain.
