Purpose: To investigate how the management control system was used throughout the development of a family business. Seeking to understand how the company developed, fundamentally with regard to the management control system package.
Methodology: It was a unique case study, conducted through interviews, observation and document analysis, with a qualitative approach.
Results: With regard to development, the company faced moments of evolution and revolution, marked by a phase of rupture in which it was necessary to professionalize the processes that had been adopted. The control system has evolved considerably, giving it a readjustment to market needs. Planning is widespread and budgeting is a tool used for control purposes. The reward system is used shyly and administrative controls are evidenced from the consolidation of organizational policies and rules.
Contributions of the Study: Accounting research has shown that there is room for research that seeks to go beyond its mere basic utility: the tax authorities. Thus, the present study contributes to show that this conception still exists, in which the Controller and the Accountant reinforce this stereotype. In this way, the findings contribute in practical terms to this company and others that have a similar structure to be able to make use of these results to overcome this stagnation, allowing the accounting sector to provide management support to the organization.
