This research report investigates the role of management accounting (MA) in relation to strategic human resource management (SHRM). The two main objectives of the report were:

1. The existing MA information provided within the context of the SHRM process.
2. Managers' and accountants' views on what role MA information could play in SHRM in future.

Measuring HR performance (financial and non-financial)
Benchmarking
Reporting HR performance
