A ideia subjacente à investigação é a dúvida que se colocou quanto à utilização da contabilidade como sistema de informação para a tomada de decisão, por parte dos gestores das Associações Humanitárias de Bombeiros Voluntários (AHBV’s) e da perceção destes para a importância dessa utilização. Face às dúvidas surgidas foram traçados os objetivos a atingir, por forma a investigação obter respostas às duas perguntas de partida:
• Os Gestores das Associações Humanitárias de Bombeiros Voluntários utilizam a Contabilidade como Sistema de Informação para a Tomada de Decisão de Gestão?
• Os Gestores das Associações Humanitárias de Bombeiros Voluntários têm a perceção da importância da Contabilidade como Sistema de Informação para a Tomada de Decisão de Gestão? E complementarmente, conhecer as características principais ligadas à contabilidade das Associações Humanitárias de Bombeiros Voluntários, o Perfil da sua Gestão, como é elaborada a sua Contabilidade e os Custos desta. Para alcançar os objetivos pretendidos pela investigação realizámos um inquérito junto de uma amostra aleatória de 200 gestores das Associações Humanitárias de Bombeiros Voluntários, que julgámos representativa da população e nos possibilitou obter informação suficiente para caracterizar: a organização (associação de bombeiros), o perfil da sua gestão, a elaboração da contabilidade e os seus custos, a utilização ou não da informação contabilística e a perceção dos gestores para a importância da contabilidade no sistema de informação para a tomada de decisão, e desta forma responder às duas perguntas de partida.
As conclusões da investigação realizada foram:
1) Os Gestores das Associações Humanitárias de Bombeiros Voluntários utilizam a Contabilidade como Sistema de Informação para a Tomada de Decisão de Gestão;
2) Os Gestores das Associações Humanitárias de Bombeiros Voluntários têm a perceção da importância da Contabilidade como Sistema de Informação para a Tomada de Decisão de Gestão
