Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess the effect of using management accounting strategies on financial performance from Palestinian industrial companies’ employees point of view. To collect data from Palestinian industrial companies’ employees in the Gaza Strip, a questionnaire was constructed utilizing a descriptive-analytical technique. Multiple regression analysis was used to evaluate the data from 276 respondents. The results showed that the independent factors (i.e. value chain, target costing, just in time, and quality cost) impacted the dependent variable (i.e. financial performance). While this research improves on previous findings, it also provides information that academics and practitioners may use to help people in financial performance.
