On this basis, it will take a brief analysis of the current use of EVA financial management system in chinese enterprises to improve and develop the EVA theory.
Currently, the theoretical study of EVA abroad is more thorough and comprehensive, covering all aspects of EVA. And in a long time, the domestic EVA study is mainly focused on how to use EVA as a corporate governance standard and performance assessment. We still need more superficial research to make the EVA financial management more complete. In fact, EVA is not only just an indicator, but also a management method.

Therefore, our country should strengthen the research in the field of EVA practice, and need to have some research institutions of our country's listed companies. This paper aims at constructing a financial management system based on EVA, so as to improve and develop EVA theory.
