Abstract

Der Beitrag vermittelt einen Überblick über die Ausgestaltung des Controllings bei Klein- und Kleinstunternehmen (KKU). Ergänzend wird die Rolle des Steuerberaters in diesem Kontext betrachtet. Dabei zeigt sich, dass auch KKU Controlling-Bedarf haben. Sie weisen erhebliche Informationsmängel auf, die u. a. auf unzureichende Informationsverarbeitung zurückzuführen sind. Entscheidungen werden wenig rational getroffen und die betriebswirtschaftliche Kompetenz ist häufig unzulänglich. Externes Controlling durch Steuerberater ist eine gute Möglichkeit diese Probleme zu verringern. Abhängig von der Kanzleigröße bieten Steuerberater mehr oder weniger umfassende Controlling-Konzepte an. Dominant werden operative Controlling-Instrumente angeboten und auch eingesetzt. Strategisches Controlling kommt kaum zum Einsatz. Steuerberater sehen zwar die Rationalitätssicherung nicht als die wichtigste Controlling-Funktion, erkennen aber die hohe Bedeutung der Informationsversorgung und der Planung und Kontrolle sowie der Entscheidungsvorbereitung. / This article provides an overview of the configuration of managerial accounting in small and micro-enterprises (SMEs). In addition, the role of the tax consultant is considered in this context. It materializes that SMEs also have a demand for managerial accounting. They have significant information deficiencies which lead back, inter alia, to inadequate information processing. -- Decisions are made with little rational basis and business expertise is often inadequate. Therefore the implementation of managerial accounting by a tax advisor affords a good opportunity to reduce these problems. Depending on the size of the firm, a tax consultant offers more or less comprehensive managerial accounting concepts. Predominantly, operative managerial accounting instruments are offered and implemented whereas strategic managerial accounting is hardly used. The assurance of rationality is not seen by tax advisors as the most important function of managerial accounting, but rather the importance of the supply of information, the planning, control and the decision making processes.
