Executives see technology, data and analytics as a transforming force in business. Many organizations are therefore implementing business intelligence
& analytics (BI&A) technologies to support reporting and
decision-making. Traditionally, management accounting is the primary
support for decision-making and control in an organization. As such, it
has clear links to and can benefit from applying BI&A technologies.
This indicates an interesting research area for accounting and AIS
researchers. However, a review of the literature in top accounting and
information systems journals indicates that to date, little research has focused on this link. This article reviews the literature, points to
several research gaps and proposes a framework for studying the
relationship between BI&A and management accounting.
