N2 - This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of material flow cost accounting (MFCA) on the external pressure (regulatory pressure and market pressure) - financial performance relationship. The topic of MFCA is rarely researched. The data was collected using questionnaires directed to the owners/managers of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the East Java Province, Indonesia. As many as 156 respondents participated in this research. The finding reveals that MFCA partially mediates the external pressure-financial performance relationship proving that MFCA as one of the environmental management accounting methods is beneficial and needed to enhance financial performance. Employing institutional theory, this study provides additional support to the scarcity of empirical evidence focusing on MFCA in the MSME research setting.
