          Abstract

          Este artigo trata de Contabilidade Social Corporativa, em uma de suas formas mais conhecidas, preferidas e utilizadas: o Balanço Social. O objetivo deste estudo é a análise da eficácia do processo de certificação do Empresa Cidadã, promovida pelo Conselho Regional de Contabilidade do Rio de Janeiro [CRC/RJ], que teve por objetivo "elevar a qualidade e a transparência dos relatórios sociais publicados e incentivar a realização de balanços sociais pelas organizações". Efetuou-se ainda uma análise qualitativa dos dados apresentados para certificação. Este trabalho se utiliza então do estudo de caso simples como metodologia, tendo a certificação como caso e o processo como unidade em análise. Esta pesquisa conclui que, apesar da melhoria contínua, da consolidação do processo, da sofisticação e da tecnicidade e abrangência, o processo ainda se encontra distante de alcançar os objetivos de influenciar as decisões dos gestores e modificar o comportamento das instituições sobre investimentos desta natureza. A análise dos dados é dificultada pela inconsistência, heterogeneidade e posicionamento das informações apresentadas, enquanto o processo em si se revela excessivamente quantitativo, apresentando ainda o problema da não publicidade dos critérios e julgamentos efetuados na análise dos dados.

          This study is about one of the most known, used and preferable means of Corporate Social Accounting: the Social Report. The core objective of this study is the analysis of the efficacy of the Citizen Company certification process. This process was introduced by the professional accounting regulatory agency CRC/RJ and analyzed by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro for the purpose of "improving quality and transparency of corporate socio-environmental", one of the few that deals with matters such as financial reporting and the importance of audit attestation. A qualitative analysis of the data submitted for certification was also carried out. Thus, the methodology used in this paper is the simple case study. The conclusions reveal that, unlike Conclusions reveal that, in opposition to process continued improvement, the inconsistence, heterogeneity and placement of information difficult the data analysis, while certification seems to be hard quantitative and give no publicity to how it judges the reported information.
