measurement, accumulation, analysis, preparation, pengintepretasian,
andcommunication offinancialinformationused by managemen tplanning,

2.2 The
role of management accounting in the public
sector organization sinclude:
1.Strategic planning
2.Provision ofcost information
3.Valuation of investments
4.Budgeting
5.Determination ofthe cost of services(cost ofservices) and thedetermination oftariffs(chargingforservices)
6.Assessment of performance
2.2.1 Strategic planning
At the stage ofstrategic planning, organizational
management makingprogram alternativesthat can supportthe
organization's strategy. The role ofmanagement
accountingis to provide informationtodeterminehow muchthe program costs(cost
ofthe program) andsome ofthe cost ofanactivity(cost
ofactivity), so based onthe accounting
informationmanagers candetermine howthe budget requiredis associatedwith
theavailable resources.
Management accountinginthe public sectorare faced
withthreemajor issues, namely cost efficiency,
product quality, and service(cost, quality
andservices). To be able toproducehighqualitypublic
servicesat a low cost, the governmentshouldadopt the
systemof modernmanagement accounting information. Still,
there islittle differencebetweenthe privatesectorwiththe public
sectorin terms of determiningthe cost ofproducts/services(productcosting).
This was duelargelyto thecost ofthe private sectortend to
beengineeredcost thathasdirectrelationwiththe resulting output, whilethe cost ofthepublic sectoris largely adiscretionarycostsetatthe
beginning ofthe budget periodandoftendo nothave adirect relationshipbetween
theactivities undertakenbythe resulting output. Most of
theoutput producedinthe public sectoris an intangibleoutputsare difficult to
measure.
2.2.2 Provision of information costs
Cost (cost) in thepublic sector
accountingcan be categorizedinto threegroups, namely:
·InputCosts: Costinputsare
resourcessacrificed toprovide services. Input costscan
includethe cost of laborandraw material costs.
·Costof output: outputCostsarecosts
incurred todeliverthe producttoreach the handsof customers. In public sector organizationsoutputis measuredin various
waysdepending on theservicesproduced.
·The cost ofthe process: The cost ofthe
process can beseparated based onthe function ofthe organization. Costis measuredby consideringthe function ofthe organization.
2.2.3 Valuation of investments
Assessmentof investmentin the public sectoris substantially morecomplicatedthan
those inthe privatesector. Investment
appraisaltechniquesusedin the private sectordesigned
toprofit-orientedorganizations. While thepublic
organizationis an organizationthat is notprofit-oriented, so sometimesthese techniquescan not be appliedtothe public sector.
In additionit isdifficultto measurethe output, so as to determinefuture gainsinfinancial measures(expected
return) can not(difficult) to do.
Valuation of investmentsin public organizationsis doneby using
acost-benefit analysis(cost-benefit analysis). In practice, there are difficultiesin
determiningthe costs and benefitsoftheinvestments made. This
isbecause thecosts andbenefitsshould be analyzednot onlyin terms
offinancialalone butshould includesocial costs(socialcosts)andsocial
benefits(socialbenefits)to be derivedfromthe proposedinvestment. Determining thesocial costsandsocial benefitsin monetary termsis
verydifficult to do. Therefore, investment
appraisalusingcost-benefit analysisin the public sectoris difficult.For
simplicity,it can be usedcost-effectivenessanalysis(cost-effectiveness analysis).
2.2.4 Budgeting
Management accountingis to facilitatethe creation ofeffective
publicbudgets. Associated with thethreebudgetfunctions,
namelyas a means ofpublic resourceallocation, distribution tool, andstabilization,
the management accountingis a vital toolfortheallocation and
distribution ofpublic resourceseconomically, efficiently,
effectively, fairly and equitably.
2.2.5 Determination of the cost of services(cost
ofservices) and
the determination oftariffs(charging for services)
Management accountingis used todeterminehow muchit costs
toprovidea particularserviceandwhatrateswill becharged to theusers ofpublic
services, includingcalculatingsubsidies.Demandsfor the
governmentto improve service qualityand complaintswill bethe cost ofserviceis
anindication ofthe need forimprovedmanagement accounting systemsin the public
sector. People wantthe government to providefast service,
quality, and cheap. Government-oriented public servicemust
respondcomplaints, demands anddesires of the communityso
thatthe quality of lifegets better andincreasesocial welfare.
2.2.6 Assessment of
performance

efficiencyandeffectiveness of the organizationin achievingits purpose. In astageperformance assessment, management
