Management accounting, as the most important informative support to this management activity, evolves and develops in an attempt to satisfy the needs for reliable and relevant information which is necessary for business decision-making in changed, globalized business conditions. In the process of decision-making one needs to respect a number of factors regarding motives, approaches, and business philosophy of the decision maker.
