This paper investigates the relationship between environmental management accounting (EMA) and environmental performance in the Malaysian small-medium (SMEs) sized manufacturing sector. The issue of environmental have affected many businesses regardless of the types and sizes of organisation. Ferreira et.al. (2010) argue that the use of EMA technique is not driven by the size of a company, but by the type of industry it relates to. EMA practices involve the tracking, tracing and treatment of costs, earnings and savings incurred in relation to the company’s environmental-related activities Burrit et. al. (2002),. Environmental accounting is still new in Malaysia and the managers and accountants are lack of knowledge in this matter (Jusoh et al., 2018), therefore it is need more empirical evidence on EMA practices especially in developing countries, such as Malaysia. Thus, this study is important to explain the current practice of EMA in SMEs and its influence on environmental performance.   The results reveal that the physical EMA has the highest mean compared to monetary EMA. The results show that the level of EMA practices are not at an encouraging level. The regression results indicate that both types of EMA practices (monetary and physical) have a positive significant effect on environmental performance.

Environmental problems with pollution are generally caused by waste resulting from poorly managed waste disposal systems from the production process. Around 64 of the 470 watersheds are in critical condition. The causes are varied, including industrial waste containing various chemicals. This is because the use of corporate environmental accounting is less proactive to the management of the application of corporate environmental management accounting that is not good. The results of the proper assessment of the company's environmental performance in Banten 2017-2018 there were 9 companies that received a red rating greater than the 2016-2017 assessment year which only 5 companies. This type of research is a comparative causal study. Based on the type of data, this research is a quantitative study, because the data used is in the form of numbers. The method used in data collection in this study is to use survey techniques, namely data collection by questionnaire in 36 companies in the city of Cilegon who follow environmental proper. In this study the data was processed using PLS static tools to have different characteristics from previous studies.

Environmental management (EMA) has been considered as a successful idea to reduce ecological burdens in the form of energy dependence and carbon footprint. In addition to the company's highest emphasis on EMA, the organization's environmental strategy (ENS) is articulated and implemented with ecological motivation. The role of the ENS strengthens the internal awareness of the organization to improve environmental conditions and thereby helps reduce negative environmental stresses. In addition, with increasing environmental regulations in place, the need for sound environmental policies and strategies of the company is essential to protect future growth and market image. Results There is a significant influence of environmental management accounting to encourage environmental performance, there is a significant effect of environmental management accounting to encourage economic performance, there is a significant influence of environmental strategy to encourage environmental performance, there is a significant influence of environmental strategy to encourage economic performance, commitment to moderate management The significant influence of Environmental Management Accounting to encourage Environmental Performance, Management Commitment Cannot Moderate the Effect of Environmental Management Accounting which encourages Economic Performance, Management Commitment to Moderate the significant influence of Environmental Strategy to encourage Environmental Performance and Management Commitment to Moderate the Impact of Environmental Strategy which is significant to encourage Economic Performance .

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effect of information system (IS) on the relationship between environmental management accounting practices (EMAP) and organizational performance (OPM) for Malaysian manufacturing industry. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on survey data collected from 395 manufacturing companies in Malaysia. Validity and reliability analyses were performed using IBM SPSS and structural equation modeling was used to test the research hypotheses. Findings The results indicated that EMAP positively and significantly to IS and OPM. This study also found that IS partially mediates the relationship between EMAP and OPM. This study also found that IS partially mediates the relationship between EMAP and OPM. Research limitations/implications This study has a number of limitations that need to be addressed in future research. First, the population and sample of survey respondents are only targeted in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. Second, this research only uses the survey technique and is conducted in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. Third, the limitation of this study would concern the difficulty to find EMAP and IS relationship literatures in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. However, the researchers consider that there is greater scope for investigation on the EMAP, IS and OPM relationships for Malaysian manufacturing industry. Originality/value This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by examining the mediating effect of IS on the relationship between EMAP and OPM for Malaysian manufacturing industry. Thus, it is expected that the results of this study have given valuable insight of the relationship between EMAP, IS on OPM for Malaysian manufacturing industry.
