| Popis: | Readiness for change is currently one of the most critical challenges that universities, and the people managing them, face today. The effect of this is a significant rise in the demand for financial and nonfinancial information about the management processes of universities. In this context, a suitably adapted management accounting system whose task is to provide such details becomes the fundamental element necessary for the effective management of the university. The article aims to analyze the suitability of the management accounting system for the management of a higher education system on the example of the solution applied at the University of Lodz. Five qualitative research methods were used for its implementation: a literature analysis, participant observation, free interviews, structured interviews, and a case study. The article presents the key users’ opinions of the system on its usefulness in daily work, and it enumerates the benefits obtained by the University of Łódź thanks to the use of the system. It allowed us to formulate a conclusion about the applicability of this solution as an example of the creation of similar management accounting systems in other universities. |
