Abstract
New empirical evidence is presented on organisational change, outsourcing and the impact on
management accounting in three types of organisations: private sector companies, the National
Health Service and Local Authorities. Spearman rank correlations are used to examine three
propositions: that (i) change in organisational form exists and may be related to an increased use of
outsourcing or subcontracting; (ii) outsourcing is expected to improve organisational flexibility
and/or the service of an activity, to lead to cost savings, or to allow the organisation to focus more
clearly on its core business; and (iii) outsourcing promotes change in management accounting.
Statistical support is found for each of our three propositions. This is further supported by reference
to three illustrative case studies. Overall, we conclude that organisational change, as effected by the
use of outsourcing, is related to specific changes in the organisations’ management accounting
systems.
