Political accounting manages transparency of party and electoral funds

Political accounting is a specialized branch of accounting science focused on the registration, control, and transparency of financial resources used by political parties, committees, and candidates. Its primary mission is to convert complex financial flows into clear reports for regulatory bodies and the public.

This field is divided into two main areas: party accounting, which manages the annual administration of political parties including routine revenues and public funds, and electoral accounting, which handles the high-intensity period of political campaigns. Global trends show an increase in public financing and stricter regulations on private capital, requiring precise tracking of public funds and individual donations to ensure legal compliance.
