Abstract In recent years, project management has become an important part of modern management courses, no matter whether it is the team leaders, or the new recruitments in the office, all hope to discover an efficient project management model to improve the efficiency of the organisation. This study’s case study unit belongs to an institution that focuses on research and development, and thus has employed project management models for a significant amount of time. However, on the actual performance, the outcome is still not as good as expected. Therefore, it is hoped to develop a new project management procedure in order to improve the shortcomings of the current project management methods. On the other hand, accountings information is not only useful for profiting organisations; it also provides essential finance information for non-profitable organisations. However, accounting is currently often viewed by the management to be a simple ‘teller’ function that controls the financial flow of the company, and is only liable for some daily economic activity recordings. Therefore, this study also hopes to enhance the function of financial information through accounting management, in hope to improve the efficiency of project management. This study relies on expert interviews; to examine the phenomenon occurred after public organisations adopted project management, combined with financial information to provide suitable suggestions, in order to improve the efficiency of project management. During the course of the interviews and discussions, it was discovered that the main underlying problems of current project management execution is of lack of project management concepts and mis- or insufficient communications. Therefore, the above issues are divided into three major types, being system requirements, communication interfaces and cost analysis, respectively. And setup new project management procedures accordingly to the type of issues, in order to improve the shortcomings, allowing financial information to enhance the efficiency of project management. This study initiated a communication channel, and set out to discover the shortcomings of project management execution, and further provided initial amendments. In the future, further communication should be imposed, in order to decrease the possibility of error in executing projects. On the facet of improving project management efficiency, the project managers have not only obtained accounting managing concepts through our suggestions, but also a set rule to follow while making decisions.
