This study examines the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation on the roles and skills of management accountants within production companies. Utilizing a dual-method approach of structured email questionnaires and telephone interviews, our findings reveal a significant shift towards more strategic roles and enhanced skill requirements post-ERP implementation. Specifically, management accountants are moving towards strategic activities such as business planning, facilitated by the comprehensive data and process integration offered by ERP systems. This research contributes a new framework to the literature, offering insights into the evolving landscape of management accounting in the context of technological advancements.
