As a non-profit institution, PSA relies on external funding to carry out its activities, mostly mobilized through projects supported by grants from donor institutions.

Its global action is the result of various cooperation agreements developed through interaction and partnership with counterparts. All of its financial and asset management is executed by the PSA Administrative Sector, with Sectorial Coordination responsible for executing agreements directly related to their respective programs.

In accordance with the Brazilian fiscal year (January to December), the financial reports, the rendering of accounts and the financial statements are updated and independently audited by a third party, to then be submitted to the CEAPS Board of Auditors and for approval from the partner’s General Assembly.
