Abstract:
This study examines the role of management accounting in supply chain management in Lagos State, Nigeria. The objectives are to: (1) evaluate how management accounting practices improve supply chain efficiency, (2) assess the impact on cost control and inventory management, and (3) analyze the challenges faced in integrating management accounting with supply chain processes. A survey design was chosen to gather data from supply chain managers and management accountants. The sample size, calculated using Taro Yamane's formula, ensures representativeness. Dangote Group was selected as the case study due to its extensive supply chain operations and integration of management accounting practices. The reliability coefficient score of the survey was 0.91. Findings indicate that management accounting significantly enhances supply chain efficiency and cost control, improving overall inventory management. It is recommended that companies in Lagos State integrate management accounting practices into their supply chain processes to achieve greater efficiency and cost savings.
