private sector and apply them to social welfare. So that they are framed in this

the knowledge of the characteristics that define these entities. Thus, the objective of
the present article is to define and contextualize the Third Sector, in addition to
demonstrating the main accounting reflexes in constituting a non-profit association.
For this purpose, bibliographic research will be used as a scientific methodology,
