This study aimed identify the perceptions of UFES’ managers and accountants, about the adoption of cost’s systems applied to the public sector. The sample was composed of 34 federal employees, 12 accountants and 22 managers. It was used as an collecting data instrument the questionnaire in a open and closed questions way, in this case, some of the questions are multiple-choice and the remaining issues constructed structurally obeying the four-point Likert Scale pattern. Two scales were constructed: perception and importance. In order to analyze both groups perceptions, it was decided to perform in this study, the nonparametric Mann-Whitney statistical test. It was verified throughout the research that accountants and managers of the UFES consider important the use of a cost management system in public universities. The results revealed that the perceptions of both groups regarding concepts of cost management systems applied to the public sector are similar and congruent with the theoretical foundation presented in this study. A significant difference was identified regarding the perception about both groups results which it is assumed that happens because of the study degree of each group of participant, this way, the accountants tend to consider very or totally important the statements proposed by virtue of having training with greater Specificity in the area of costs. Considering the perception scale, the identified differences occur because of the accountants reveal greater incidence in the sense of total agreement. While the managers expressed a greater tendency of agreement than disagreement. The results of the research corroborates the findings of Diniz (2004) which concludes that as managers and accountants perceptions of their sample are congruent with regard to those addressed in relation to cost systems, as well as the Ramos (2013) which concludes that both two respondent groups in their research have knowledge about cost concepts also know the importance and needs of such information for decision making. It is suggested for future research, an in-depth investigation on the limiting factors of na effective implantation of a cost management system by public universities. It is suggested also an investigation of a specific methodology to be implanted in this environment.
