There are ample possibilities for further research on the use of accounting information in Egypt. Based on our results, we suggest that it is more useful to start taking stock of the current management accounting practices, also with respect to internal control mechanisms such as the use of budgets, performance measurement and management, capital budgeting decisions, etc. As discussed before, we would advise to take care in the use of terminology. Also, it is important to gain more insight into the actual needs of Egyptian firms. Given the current state of cost accounting, simply trying to implement advanced accounting techniques does not seem useful. Finally, the difficulties in obtaining responses means that it is impossible to conduct empirical research with the “average” (non-international) Egyptian firm without input from native researchers, especially with respect to the language barrier.
