Abstract: This project is anchored in the Theory of Public Value and its developments in Public Value Accounting (PVA). It discusses the challenges related to the operationalization of public value and its articulation with the principles of accountability. Subsequently, the study will unfold into Public Value Accounting (PVA) and will seek to consolidate PVA as an evidence-based theoretical-practical model, capable of integrating public value and accountability through the identification, modeling, and translation of different perspectives, interests, and social values. In this context, the project's objective is to broaden the dialogue by empirically addressing the accountability of public organizations, using the management model of Social Health Organizations (OSS) in the State of Goiás as a case study. The choice of OSS as the object of analysis is related to the logic behind their creation, aimed at optimizing public resources and balancing managerial autonomy with mechanisms of social control. This institutional configuration requires different instruments for evaluating and controlling the performance of beneficiary entities. In terms of methodology, this study will use Financial Auditing and Risk Management as analytical tools, as they are systematic processes for obtaining and evaluating evidence.
