The increasing knowledge and understanding on the application of management control system, for the area in which this research was undertaken by benchmarking of the same research undertaken in other country, were taken as the major initiators of this study and were the rationale to the research. This study focused only the application of management control system in Ethiopia Commercial Banks even if there were different managerial issues in the banking industry at the head and branch offices as well. An institution based cross sectional descriptive study with analytic components was conducted in Ethiopian commercial banks which are functioned at Addis Ababa.

SPSS version 19 for windows was employed to perform statistical analysis. Findings were displayed using tables, and pie-charts. The regression results show that strategic planning and management; and performance measurement have positive and statistical significant contribution on management control system of Ethiopian commercial banks .this is as similar result with (Sinikka 2007).Besides, the commercial banks are competing mainly in service and many of them adapting differentiation strategy. The priority of the majority of commercial banks is customer retention. Commercial banks are encouraging employees to upgrade their knowledge and skill on the basis of experience or service offer to the bank.
