Objectives: In management accounting literature, budget is the foundation of management control process in most organizations. Therefore, budgeting and management accounting information systems are control tools that depend on each other as the two sides of a scale. Design/methodology/approach: The research method used is an exploratory survey. All managers of Shiraz municipality constitute the statistical population of the present study. Sampling was not used in this research. In order to test the hypotheses of the research, SPSS software version 24 and "one-sample t-test " and "one-way analysis of variance" tests were used. Results: The findings of the research indicate that the usage of the management accounting system in the budgeting system by the managers of different levels of Shiraz municipality is more than mean, but it is still far away. Also, the findings indicate that there is no great difference between the usage of these managers at different management levels from the management accounting information system in the budgeting system. Based on these results, the status of the management accounting system in the budgeting system should be improved in Shiraz municipality. Originality/value: The review of the studies conducted in Iran indicates that no research has been observed that proves the role of accounting system information in municipalities in their budgeting system so far. Therefore, from this point of view, this study is innovative and needed to be implemented for the first time in one of the metropolitan municipalities of Iran.
