Small and medium size enterprises (SME's) represent a large and important part of the Canadian economy. However, little is known about the extent to which Canadian SME's utilize contemporary management accounting techniques such as costing systems, budgets, responsibility centre reporting, and analysis for decision-making. We conducted in-depth field interviews at 11 Canadian SME's to: (1) determine the extent to which widely accepted management accounting techniques and tools are being adopted at SME's of various sizes and industries and (2) explore the underlying reasons why specific techniques are not being used. We find that of the 19 well-known management accounting techniques addressed in our interviews, only a small proportion are moderately or highly used by the participating companies. Moreover, we find that manufacturing companies in our study are considerably more likely to use certain techniques such as costing systems and responsibility centre reporting. We discuss the implications of our findings for management accounting educators, textbook authors, and developers of professional education programs.
