Transparência na gestão pública: uma análise da sua concretização em municípios às margens da BR 222

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze, according to the perception of the public manager and the population, the concretization of transparency in public accounts by electronic means in municipalities along the banks of BR 222. The research question that sought to respond with this study was: which the degree of concreteness and transparency of the financial and budgetary information made available in electronic sites in municipalities along the borders of BR 222?Observing how the laws focused on transparency contributed to its effectiveness. Transparency became a way of responding to the public, because when the public came to have access to this information in a clear and transparent way, the citizen himself began to control public spending. The social demand for greater transparency in the public sector has in recent years forced managers to undertake a series of transformations regarding professionalization, adaptation to new laws aimed at the public sector, democratization and the most important thing is to make public administration transparent. In addition to this social demand, there was the advance of technology, changes in Brazilian legislation, establishing laws that oblige public administrators to show their actions. In Brazil, Complementary Law No. 131/09 and Law 12,527 / 2011 -Access to Information Law, came to benefit the increase of transparency in public administration. In order to reach the proposed objective, a mixed-approach research was used and the population perception of the selected municipalities was analyzed in the quantitative stage, and at the qualitative stage, interviews were conducted with public administrators and those responsible for the internal control of the municipalities. In anticipation of the results, it is observed that the municipalities surveyed still have to adapt the laws of access to information and transparency, since the population still has difficulties to understand the data made available in the transparency portal.
