The sample is randomly determined by 149 managers. Primary data using a questionnaire was collected by email, postal mail, or went directly to the manager. Data analysis was performed with Partial Least Square (PLS). The results of this study found that environmental changes have no effect on improving organizational performance, but environmental changes affect the change in management accounting practices. In contrast, changes in management accounting affect organizational performance. It means that changes in management accounting are able to mediate environmental changes to improve organizational performance.
