strategic accounting management (SMA) activities are composed of specific approaches that can
improve value development in organizations. This practice offers information on management
accounting used for business strategy, firm growth, market shifts, strategic corporate policy,
strategic execution and strategic control. This paper aims to ascertain the mediating role of
strategic management accounting (SMA) practices in Malaysian GLCs on the relationship
between alliance management capacity and value development of firms. This paper contributes
by providing empirical review that enables top management, accountants and policy makers to
review the implementation of SMA techniques to create value for the firm.
