These can be referred to as components of managerial practice. Each companycan be characterized as having a unique configuration of tools that can be recognized as the company profile.This paper analyzes the conceptual adherence (i. e., the relationship between theory and practice) of themanagerial accounting practices of medium-sized and large Brazilian companies. Statistical multivariate analysishas allowed for the identification of five clusters within the group of companies studied. The main conclusionfor the sample is that conceptual adherence to tactical components is greater than to strategic components.
