Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the conformity of the accounting disclosure of Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs), holders of a Social Assistance Benefit Entity Certificate (CEBAS) in Feira de Santana (BA), under the Brazilian Accounting Standards, through adoption of the General Technical Interpretation - ITG 2002 (R1). Methodology:  This is a qualitative study on its approach, carried out through bibliographical and documentary research. The empirical stage of the research was carried out by means of a survey of data from Social Assistance Entities made available on the website of the Ministry of Social Development (MDS) in order to obtain entities participating in the survey, and then to collect the accounting information disclosed. In addition, descriptive statistics were used for data treatment. Results: The research showed that the level of care provided to ITG 2002 (R1), can be considered reasonable, however the findings of the investigation reveal that the management of the Social Welfare Benefit Entity (EBAS) does not prioritize the preparation and disclosure of the accounting information for use or to account for the various users. Contributions of the Study: The present research provides contributions because its research source was inspired by the accounting practices envisaged in the ITG 2002 (R1) adopted by the EBAS, and the study may advance further investigations in entities operating in other sectors.
