This research aimed to understand and evaluate the contribution of the accounting professional at the organizations in the Third Sector, for transparency and accountability. To verify that the management of the organization belonging to the Third Sector plays its activities in a transparent and accountable way, a descriptive exploratory research was conducted in an organization belonging to this sector called Viva Rio, which is based in Rio de Janeiro, which semi-structured interviews were conducted. The survey results show that accounting can contribute much to these organizations, mainly because of them, unlike the other organizations of the first and second sectors, need to be accountable to more diverse audiences. The organization studied uses non-financial and financial information as an aid tool for transparency and accountability, and yet, the accounting records are accounted for by donors and projects, which generates the accuracy and timing in the availability of informations to its stakeholders.
