The enduring value of contextual view of management accounting and its content emphasizes power and relationship between Management Accounting, Strategic Management Accounting and Strategic Cost Management. The methodology used for this paper is descriptive and comparative based on a systematic literature review from different books and journals, especially Scopus indexed journals taken by Elsevier, emerald insight and other trustable library sources. The paper explores a comparative analysis between management accounting and strategic management accounting. Practical limitations of this paper have been mainly focused on having access to Scopus indexed journals. Also, another limitation encountered is related with electronic library which in our country is very difficult and even impossible to have free access in reading and downloading related papers. The intention was to identify similarities and differences between Strategic Management Accounting and Strategic Cost Management and also the relationship that exists between them. The paper concluded that Strategic management has as its primary goal the efficient use of all resources while focusing on the competitive advantage of an organization. Hence, SMA could be considered as an integral part of the strategic management; an interaction of the management and the SMA techniques is important for the more efficient management of an entity.
