Finally, taking VSM as reference in the normative level, it could be affirmed that the studied system is not a viable system to verify that, the studied system is not a viable system yet.

Os propósitos estratégicos do Tribunal de Contas do Estado de Pernambuco: desafios para a sua realização à luz das novas tendências da administração pública no Brasil

The Court of Auditors for the State of Pernambuco (know as TCE-PE), during its strategic planning process, realized its need to be recognized by Pernambuco society as an effective instrument in the improvement of public management. This objective is present in its mission statement and in its strategic vision, as declared in the Strategic Plan for the 2008- 2012 period. Withing its pages, we can verify that it is not only the effectiveness of TCE-PE's institutional results that needs to be recognized by society. What we look forward to is that all the results from public management, within its jurisdiction, are also effective. In other words, our goal is to have TCE-PE intervene in Pernambuco's public management sphere in order to improve it, or for it to become more effective. Along the way, some variables will act in its favor, facilitating, while others will act in against it, complicating the attainment of this strategic binomial. The goal of this research is to identify, from the point of view of a management variable, which are the institutional and organizational elements that facilitate or complicate this process.

Sistemas municipais de controle interno: fatores que condicionam a consecução de objetivos constitucionais: o caso dos municípios da Baixada Fluminense

Os escândalos envolvendo corrupção na administração pública brasileira parecem continuar recrudescendo. Os aparatos de controle não tem respondido satisfatoriamente a essa questão, não obstante os esforços efetuado pelos legisladores na elaboração da Constituição de 1988, particularmente no caso da ampliação do escopo do Controle Interno de cada poder da república, no sentido de um melhor controle da burocracia. Utilizamos a Teoria do Agente-Principal para explicar os conflitos surgidos entre os atores envolvidos, no exercício desse controle específico, em função dos diversos papéis assumidos, concomitantemente por esses mesmos atores nessas relações tipo Agente-Principal. Para identificar os fatores, oriundos dessas relações conflituosas, que condicionam a consecução dos objetivos constitucionais previstos para o Controle Interno, especificamente nos municípios da baixada fluminense, entrevistamos os responsáveis pelo Controle Interno de municípios dessa região, escolhendo uma amostra de 6 prefeituras. Entrevistamos ainda 3 técnicos do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, a fim de fazer o contra-ponto das visões entre Controle Interno e Controle Externo. Os dados obtidos das entrevistas foram tratados pelo método de Análise de Conteudo, agrupando-se o material obtido por categoria, que foram definidas na grade mista, utilizada para as análises respectivas.

Transparência, a resposta institucional à pressão social: o caso do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

The present work aims to identify emerging organizational changes in the Court of Accounts of the State of Rio de Janeiro - TCE/RJ that are happening in the contemporary scenery known as the Age of Information. The search for the comprehension of the institutional dynamics is oriented by concepts originated from the theory of complexity, which believe that the public services external control system can be understood in a political, technical and legal environment with growing levels of learning and innovation. While chasing the possible causes of these changes, we try to prove the hypothesis that the TCE/RJ is turning into a more transparent organization. For this purpose, we define the outlines and reaches of the principle of transparency, based in bibliographical and documental researches, and analyze the phenomenon perceived in a explanation research through semi-structured interviews performed with two groups: a sample representing the universe under jurisdiction entities top level directors and the other obtained in the universe of formal and informal leaderships existing in the educational body of the institution. The conclusion of the present work confirms the initial questions, indicating that the organization is really becoming more and more transparent. The social-technical changes that are happening today at the TCE/RJ are caused by the growing social pressure for more effective results in the control of public expenditures. Under the systemic point of view, we observe cracks in the protective bell-glass that evolves the institution - previously hermetic to the external contingencies and that works today as a SAC - Adaptive Complex System. Aspects such as organization structural changes, the introduction of strategic planning and the growing democratization of the decision process are producing a new organizational culture. The seniority of the Technical Headcount contributes to establish the pre-conditions for the development of a administration where the participation of the TCE/RJ technical employees adds importance to its development as an institution that generates republican effects in the society from its less hermetic decision process.

A interação cidadão-tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro: uma perspectiva republicana

A consolidação da democracia e o fortalecimento das instituições em nosso país, aliados a uma persistência do patrimonialismo e do clientelismo nas relações entre a sociedade civil e o Estado brasileiro, fazem emergir a necessidade do estabelecimento de uma cultura democrática em que os cidadãos acompanhem permanentemente as principais ações dos governantes e gestores públicos. O controle social sobre a administração pública revela-se de fundamental importância para que os governos sejam responsivos e caminhem no sentido de perseguir o interesse público. As eleições, como mecanismo de accountability, mostram-se insuficientes para assegurar que os governantes implementem de forma eficaz, eficiente e efetiva as políticas públicas de que a sociedade necessita. A presente pesquisa buscou responder como pode o Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TCE-RJ), órgão de controle externo, fomentar e estimular o controle social exercido sobre os gestores dos órgãos sob sua jurisdição. Para tal, este estudo utilizou-se de pesquisa de campo em outras Cortes de Contas com o objetivo de apontar possíveis ações que o TCE-RJ possa implementar com vistas à indução de cidadania e incremento do controle social. Verificou-se que o TCE-RJ pode ter, de fato, uma ação efetiva no estímulo à sociedade fluminense com vistas ao incremento do controle das ações e políticas implementadas pelos gestores públicos. O estudo sugere um conjunto de quatorze medidas que podem ser tomadas pelo TCE-RJ com este objetivo.

Os tribunais de contas e o controle social : a proposta de criação de uma ouvidoria para o Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e sua importância no processo democrático fluminense

The aim of this dissertation is to study the contribution given by the Brazilian court of accounts, with the creation of the ombudsman on those institutions, to the exercise of the social control made by its citizens. Being considered one of the key inventions in the field of the external control of the public management, the ombudsman of the court of accounts is the most important means of control the society may use over the public management, as well as the place where the society and court of accounts might debate and get to an agreement concerning on how to spend the public asset in a way that will benefit the citizens. In order to fulfill the aim of the dissertation, the concepts of citizenship, particularly the deliberative citizenship, were recaptured, as well as the means of control in the public management and the role of the court of accounts as a participant in the external control of the public accounts. Lastly, some of the 18 ombudsman linked to Brazilian courts of account are presented in the dissertation. The Ombudsman of the Courts of Accounts of the states of Paraná and Pernambuco are emphasized once it is understood that they are in the path of transcending the concept of popular participation to the popular sovereignty, in which the debate with the society might, in a near future, decide possibly the course of the audits of those entities.

O Sistema De Comunicação Digital (Sicodi) Como Instrumento Para Efetivação Do Teletrabalho Na Fiscalização A Cargo Do Tribunal De Contas Do Estado Do Rio De Janeiro

The acts of public administration personnel are of great importance and various laws have been passed in attempt to limit the related expenses. The management of Public administration personnel is based on the principle of efficiency. The TCE/RJ (State of Rio de Janeiro/Audit Court) digital communication system is expected through telework to facilitate its auditing duties in compliance with the terms of the Federal and State constitutions.

A implantação de uma universidade corporativa no setor público: o estudo de caso da escola de contas e gestão do tribunal de contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

The present research comprehends a case study, through which we analyzed the Programa de Implantação da Escola de Contas do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - Program of Implantation of the School of Public Finance of the Public Finance Court of the State of Rio de Janeiro - as a progressive educational strategy from the model of corporate university, considering the ten key components (steps) identified by Meister (1999) in his research. The qualitative approach has proved the most adequate for this study, as, regarding data interpretation and investigation process, the subjectivity of the researcher was taken into account, since he himself was designated to the Commission of Implantation of the School of Public Finance and is, presently, general Academic Coordinator of the Escola de Contas e Gestão (ECG) - School of Public Finance and Management, the main goal (product) of the mentioned program. As to the results, the study has shown that the Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TCE-RJ) has not equally emphasized the ten key components (steps) for the success in the construction of a corporate university, but none of them was neglected. Considering the way it presently works, it is also concluded that the ECG is relevant for the actuation of the TCE-RJ, but is not yet as connected to the performance as it should be. Fundamentally, the ECG still has to develop a personnel development system driven by personnel management through competences, performing a diagnosis of the essential organizational competences, mapping the existing ones, identifying the breaches and analyzing which of theses competences may be developed by means of their activities. Likewise, the ECG also needs to develop a methodology to assess the result as well as the impact of its activities. These circumstances, however, will be used to guide future studies and represent a new starting point.

Auditoria operacional aplicada a sistemas municipais de saúde: um estudo a partir da experiência do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

This research aimed at evaluating the efficiency of a specific model of operational auditing, created to audit municipal health systems, which are part of the Sistema Único de Saúde in the State of Rio de Janeiro, the AOSMS. Thus, it attempted to find out whether they represent a valid method of auditing the performance of SUS in the State of Rio de Janeiro based on the isolated or combined utilization of efficiency and efficacy criteria, and to finalize, how the AOSMS may contribute to the improvement of the municipal management of SUS. The study is based on two references axes, as follows: criteria and paradigms of operational auditing according to what International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) understands about this methodology and the evaluation method of health services proposed by Avedis Donabedian, based on the triad structure, process and result. The work consisted initially in verifying compatibility and evaluating potential of the parameters that constitute the AOSMS with the adopted references, in the light of the basic principles that inform the Brazilian Sistema Único de Saúde and afterwards in the submission of these parameters to the analytic categories created in this study with the intent of checking its adequacy and pertinacity to analyze public health systems. In order to reach its objective the research used the case study strategy of the TCE-RJ experience of holding operational audit in 39 municipal health systems in the State of Rio de Janeiro developed between 2000 and 2007. The result confirmed the hypothesis of the study and revealed how the AOSMS, considered as a valid methodology for its finality, may contribute for the improvement of the municipal management of SUS, reaffirming the potential of operational auditing to proceed with the evaluation of the performance of the Sistema Único de Saúde in the angle of external control, considering however that its application in Brazil, because of the external control model constitutionally adopted, must pass through due sociological reduction2.
