Montvale, N.J., April 25, 2019 – IMA® (Institute of Management Accountants) has released a new Statement on Management Accounting (SMA), “Developing an Effective Managerial Costing Model,” that builds on IMA’s Conceptual Framework for Managerial Costing (CFMC).

This SMA, written by IMA’s Managerial Costing Task Force, is part of IMA’s ongoing efforts to advance a key competency of professional accountants in business. The members of the Task Force include Raef Lawson (chair), Gary Cokins, Doug Hicks, Kip Krumwiede, Monte Swain and Larry White.

This SMA identifies principles and concepts that organizations can use to model the behavior of resources and operations, and how resources are consumed by outputs. Based on these concepts, organizations can improve their managerial costing model by:
- Assessing the current costing system’s effectiveness
- Analyzing the organization’s strategy and business environment
- Considering managerial cost modeling concepts
- Evaluating current managerial costing practices in the organization
- Designing the appropriate level of costing model sophistication for the organization
- Implementing the new cost model across the organization
