Perbandingan Metode Akuntansi Manajemen: Tradisional vs Modern

This study discusses the comparison of traditional and modern management accounting methods with the aim of analyzing the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each method and providing practical guidance for corporate decision-making. The research method uses a literature review approach, collecting and synthesizing various recent studies related to Activity Based Costing (ABC), Target Costing, and Balanced Scorecard (BSC), and comparing them with traditional methods such as job order costing and process costing. The analysis results show that traditional methods are simpler and easier to implement, but less accurate in calculating costs and less relevant for strategic decision-making. In contrast, modern methods offer higher accuracy through detailed cost allocation, comprehensive performance monitoring, and data-based decision-making support, although they require greater implementation complexity and resources. This study concludes that the choice of method must be adjusted to the characteristics of the company and the complexity of business activities, so as to optimally improve cost efficiency and profitability.
