Today, in many countries, particularly the developing countries, economic reform, such as privatization, is considered a strategic approach. The more governments grow, the tighter the competitions become in the market, so, it appears that some fields should be privatized in order to create competition. By moving towards privatization and the changes in competition methods and the presentation of the World Trade, the importance of management accounting is more pronounced. This research is based on the Contingency Theory of Anderson and Lenan (1999) and it investigates the relation of the level of privatization on the performance of privatized companies with emphasis on the use of management accounting tools as an intermediary variable. The data, related to management accounting tools and used by the companies during 6 years, was collected through questionnaires and the data related to privatization and financial performance was collected using the information registered in the statements of 48 accepted companies on Tehran’s Stock Market whose dates of acceptance are before 1387 and were continuously active until 1392. This data was analyzed by PLS 2014. The results indicate a positive relation between financial performance and privatization, and management accounting, as an intermediary variable, enhances this relation. Furthermore, the use of management accounting tools has a positive relation with the financial performance and the privatization of companies.

The procedure of tending to the accounting theories in accounting researches as a process of survey encountered some changes during past years. Since accounting Theory was neglected during past years, in this research we chose to survey the process of presenting accounting theories in Iranians research and external research comparatively.In this study, we follow empirically the changing of tendency of the scholar accounting researches in two accounting journals in Iran between 1992 and 2011 and The Accounting Review journal in America between 1993 and 2012. The number of studied articles includes 337 Iranian and 337 external articles. At this stage, after assigning a code to published articles in these journals, we analyzed research hypothesis, in two statistical populations through the proportion comparative hypothesis testing.Research results revealed that, proceeding to the accounting theories in Iranians articles is less than external ones. Using empirical method and considering decreasing effects of economics and financial sciences in Iranian articles is more than external ones. Also, because of increasing articles in capital market, using the financial accounting topics is lower in Iran than external articles.
