ABSTRACT
The purpose of this is to explore the management accounting techniques in manufacturing industries in Nigeria with reference to Nigerian Breweries Plc. Aba. However, Management Accounting which is the information system of a firm is essentially a behavioral function because managers must be influenced to take actions that are in the best interest of their organization and employee must be influenced to make their possible contributions to the organizations goals. Management tends to operate their accounting techniques with the assumptions that the more sophisticated the techniques are the more likelihood of success in controlling and improving performance. These assumptions normally elicit responses from the employees, which range from blaming the techniques used as the cause of their problem to extreme case of frustration, hatred and hostility of the organization. The main objective of this research work is to examine and determine the effects of management accounting techniques the behavior and performances of workers as well as on the overall goal of the organization. Inorder to achieve the objectives of the questionnaire, primary data was collected using questionnaire, the questionnaire was analyzed and three hypotheses formulated were tested with result showed that chi-square statistical technique. It was observed from the findings, that management accounting techniques is a measure of performance evaluation in manufacturing industries, though the techniques have not been adopted very effectively but its operations were observed to be satisfactory enough to influence workers behavior positively. In conclusion, management accounting techniques is a vital tool which when placed in the hands of a trained accountant could lead to effective service delivery.
