Revista Contemporânea de Contabilidade, Florianópolis, v. 5, n. 10, p. 53-68, jul./dez. 2008.e 2175-80691807-1821http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/20180This paper investigates whether Controllership functions performed by a middle size organization located in Goiás state is in adherence to the guidelines established in the literature. The analysis was based on the Controllership functions proposed by Almeida, Parisi and Pereira (2001). In 2006, the organization being investigated started using Controllership in order to improve the decision information system, and this service was outsourced from a consulting and advising company, which was rather innovating in terms of decision making. The data collection relied on a structured interview with the Controller. The findings revealed that the Controlling was created without defining key elements such as mission and function. Furthermore, the functions performed by the Controlling are not directly related to those proposed by the cited authors.porAcesso AbertoControllingControladoriaInformation systemOutsourcingSistema de informaçõesTerceirizaçãoArtigo10.5007/2175-8069.2008v5n10p53
