Abstract – Do Accounting and Ethics Make Company Goals Greater?

Main Purpose - This study aims to formulate Authentic Higher Purpose (AHP) company goals by applying utilitarianism from ethical philosophy.

Method – This study uses the case study method through focused group discussion. Several top management of a company related to this sector became informants in this study.

Main Findings - This study formulates a corporate belief system that contains AHP, namely social equality and merchant welfare. The system goes beyond the usual business objectives, which revolve around corporate profits. The findings show the relevance of the levers of control (LoC) used by management accounting to help organizations exercise control at a strategic level.

Theory and Practical Implications – Company goals are no longer solely centred on corporate interests but also on social impacts for other parties. AHP contributed to the development of management accounting.
