This special issue seeks to advance understanding of how management accounting is evolving in response to digitalisation, sustainability challenges, and ongoing organisational transformation.  In recent years, rapid technological developments—including data analytics, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms—have fundamentally reshaped organisational information systems and decision-making processes. At the same time, organisations face increasing pressure to respond to climate change, environmental degradation, and broader socio-economic challenges. These developments are redefining expectations of management accounting, extending its role beyond traditional financial control toward supporting sustainable value creation and long-term organisational resilience 

Guest Editors:

• Associate Professor Umesh Sharma, University of Waikato

• Dr Yuki Guo, University of Auckland
• Dr Leanne Johnstone, Orebro University School of Business
