Abstract
This research report investigates the role of management accounting (MA) in relation to strategic human resource management (SHRM). The two main objectives of the report were:
1. The existing MA information provided within the context of the SHRM process.
2. Managers' and accountants' views on what role MA information could play in SHRM in future.
Includes in-depth case studies of four leading-edge companies (Royal Mail, Canada Post Corporation, TDG plc, Weycan). In summary the four case studies show that management accountants contribute in many different ways to SHRM such as:
Providing information for SHRM planning
Analysing HR strategies
Providing information for HR decision-making
Measuring HR performance (financial and non-financial)
Benchmarking
Reporting HR performance
