Abstract:
The increasingly rapid growth in organizations requires studies that can contribute
significantly to the development and sustainability of the entities, so accounting is an
instrument which aims at observing the economic-financial facts of the companies, the
recording of information response assets that provide support to the actions of entities
through the application of its principles, standards and procedures. This paper presents in
which way accounting information as a tool to aid in the process of administrative and
financial management can contribute to decision making. The study object is the Center for
Integral Education Margarida Pereira da Silva (CEMAR) in the town of Pombal -
PB. Therefore, the research was considered exploratory and descriptive, signed by
bibliographic research and documentary that provided the subsidies needed for better
understanding by the users and stakeholders on the subject, added by structured interview
made with the president and treasurer of the entity. The results showed that in the
organization, there is engagement in the cause, willingness to improve. Regarding the use of
accounting for decision making the entity still finds it difficult to use the information for
decision making, since the correct mechanisms for the best decision making were not
presented.
