In the current decade, with an increase in e-commerce, the logistics activities have grown rapidly. However, the logistics industry of the Malaysian country is declining, as the ranking of this industry has shown downfall continuously during the past few years. The decrease in logistics industry performance reduces the contribution in a Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Therefore, to address this issue, the primary objective of this study was to examine the role of strategic management accounting practices to enhance the profitability of the Malaysian logistics firms. Questionnaires were adopted to collect the primary data and they were distributed among the employees of the logistics companies. All the questionnaires were distributed through area cluster sampling technique. Partial least square (PLS) structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to analyze the collected data. The results indicate that strategic management accounting practices had a significant positive relationship with supply chain outcomes and supply chain outcomes had a significant positive relationship with the profitability of the logistics companies. Finally, this is one of the pioneer studies, which examined the impact of strategic management accounting practices on the outcome of the logistics firms.

Indonesian agriculture sector has a major contribution in the nation’s economy. However, due to decrease in supply chain performance, the overall performance is declining which affect negatively on Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The contribution of Indonesian agriculture sector in GDP is declined to 84110 IDR Billion in the second quarter of 2018 from 84577.50 IDR Billion in the first quarter of 2018. The supply chain is one of the responsible factors of this issue. Therefore, to address this problem, the objective of the current study is to investigate the role of cost accounting system (CAS) on supply chain operations by considering the internal and external contingent factors. Moreover, the moderating role of legal obligations was also examined. In rare cases, some studies formally documented the effect of CAS on supply chain operations. Managerial employees of agricultural firms were selected to collect the necessary data and 150 questionnaires were distributed among them. Results of PLS-SEM show that CAS had a significant positive contribution in supply chain operations. Better implementation of CAS in agriculture firms had the ability to boost the performance. Moreover, other factors such as firm size, product diversity and competition also had a significant effect on CAS implementation. In this survey, legal obligations moderated the relationship between firm size and CAS. Finally, this study is beneficial for agriculture firms to enhance their performance by using better supply chain strategies through CAS.

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in supply chain management. To achieve this purpose, quantitative research approach was used, and the study preferred cross-sectional research design rather than longitudinal research design. Based on literature, six hypotheses were proposed concerning the relationship between international financial reporting and supply chain management. Data were collected from the employees of the dairy companies in Indonesia through area cluster sampling technique.
