Abstract: We investigate the extent to which interactive use of Performance Measurement Systems (PMS) enables us to leverage financial performance through knowledge sharing. We study both conventional and syaria banks. We analyse 107 data sets using SmartPLS 2.0 to seek direct and indirect effects of the hypothesised variables. We find that interactive PMSs do not enhance financial performance through knowledge sharing as distinct from their direct effect on financial performance. On further investigation, we find that syaria banks and non-manager staff, share more and better knowledge than conventional banks and managers, do about improving financial performance. Many authors claim that there is a dearth of study of management accounting in the service sector. This study adds to the literature.
