Abstract: This study analyzes the duality between sin, guilt, and responsibility, establishing a relationship between theological ethics and legal and accounting accountability in religious institutions. The research starts from the understanding that religious organizations, although based on spiritual principles, also perform administrative and financial functions that require compliance with legal and accounting standards. The objective of the work was to investigate whether spiritual responsibility replaces or influences legal and accounting accountability, analyzing the conflicts and similarities between these different accountability systems. Methodologically, this is a bibliographic research, developed from the analysis of books, scientific articles, legislation, and accounting standards related to theology, law, and accounting applied to religious entities. The results demonstrated that theological concepts such as sin, guilt, repentance, and forgiveness exert a significant influence on organizational culture and on how certain religious institutions deal with internal conflicts and administrative failures. However, it was found that spiritual accountability does not eliminate the need for formal mechanisms of control, accountability, transparency, and legal redress. It was also found that inadequate management practices and lack of accountability can compromise institutional credibility and generate financial, legal, and reputational risks. It is concluded that spiritual responsibility can coexist with legal and accounting accountability, provided it is not used as justification for avoiding administrative duties and normative obligations imposed on religious organizations.
