Diagnóstico do sistema de gestão financeira da Comunidade Doce Mãe de Deus

Abstract

Management in Third Sector organizations points to specificities that need to be taken into consideration, such as the scarcity of resources and the limited availability of adequate tools for efficient management, especially in religious institutions, which most often rely on volunteer employees and improvised management systems. This article aimed to identify the procedures adopted in the financial management system of the Doce Mãe de Deus Community, seeking, through literature analysis and a situational diagnosis, to identify and relate the problems faced with the procedures adopted in the sector. To achieve this objective, a qualitative, exploratory approach was used, with characteristics of bibliographic research and action research. According to the data obtained, the Financial Management System of the Doce Mãe de Deus Community has gradually migrated from improvisation to professionalization, and this progress is noticeable mainly between the years 2018 and 2024, when two employees and management software were hired. Therefore, this study becomes relevant, asit can guide future managers in the sector regarding their decisions, as well as serve as guidance for organizations similar to this one that are in their first years of foundation.
