The purpose of the paper is to determine the role of modern effective tools for management accounting in the context of increasing the total value of the enterprise. The article deals with the basic tools of management accounting and details the essence of their transformation in modern conditions. Current market conditions require modification of individual management accounting tools and methods, which are described in detail and substantiated in the article.

Management accounting as such is at the discretion of the enterprise.
