Mudança organizacional, controle e desempenho: a experiência do Banco Central com o combate à lavagem de dinheiro

O objetivo principal desta pesquisa é avaliar até que ponto a mudança de mecanismos de controle numa organização pública contribui para melhorar o desempenho na sua atividade fim. Trata-se de um estudo de caso da mudança ocorrida no final de 1999 na Diretoria de Fiscalização do Banco Central do Brasil. Ao receber a atribuição de implementar uma estrutura de prevenção e combate à lavagem de dinheiro através do Sistema Financeiro Nacional, esta organização absorve a equipe de monitoramento de câmbio, originalmente ligada à Diretoria de Assuntos Internacionais, e reorienta sua estrutura de controle, com vistas ao alcance da nova missão. O entendimento dos condicionantes e do modo da mudança, das dimensões e formas de controle organizacional e das diferentes abordagens do desempenho forma o embasamento teórico do estudo. Os dados secundários, básicos para a caracterização das variáveis, foram coletados principalmente em bases de dados, publicações e documentos internos do Banco Central do Brasil. Os resultados encontrados apontam uma flexibilização significativa da organização em foco, que não teve contrapartida favorável no desempenho medido pelos indicadores selecionados para esta pesquisa. Estes resultados, em retrospecto com a implementação da mudança, sugerem a influência de um conjunto de fatores não considerados neste processo, tais como a adequação do pessoal e a legitimação da nova forma de trabalho. Recomenda-se que sejam mantidos pela organização os desenvolvimentos alcançados com a nova estrutura de controle, mas que sejam reforçadas as atividades que geram os resultados positivos em termos de desempenho. Alguns temas para futuros trabalhos são apresentados, destacando-se o estudo dos efeitos da implantação do sistema preventivo nas instituições financeiras supervisionadas pelo Banco Central do Brasil.

Administração pública federal: propostas para o fortalecimento do controle sobre os atos praticados e o respectivo combate à corrupção

The characteristics of the Brazilian historic context, under which the predominant social relations have developed, have led to a process of income concentration and to the political power of the dominant classes. The slavery abolishment hasn't guaranteed the people the rights secured to privileged citizens in general. Such practices were observed during historic process as the low level literacy shown by the census of 1920, the political domination of oligarchies and the military coup, all as determining factors in process of political power concentration. The social indicators and the corruption are extremely unfavorable to our country, but we wonder if that happens only in underdeveloped societies. It is possible that even the American society, even the most developed societies, under the democratic capitalism, can suffer negative consequences of some corruption in the capitalism system. Our observations have led to the perception that all democratic society must be regulated by the State in order to preserve the stability of the system. It has also been observed that it is necessary more effective popular participation in order to neutralize economic groups¿ pressure. It has also become evident the necessity of reduction of commissioned office in the federal public administration. And, finally, it is fundamental to propose an amendment to the construction that allows the Public Ministry to have access to any bank, fiscal or telephonic information of anyone that is in office: It should be called "The Law of Moral Transparency". Those proposals will only be possible if there is massive popular participation and we hope that they express our people¿s will in order to appose to those who act only to obtain private benefits.

Desafios que enfrenta a ANP para regular a indústria de petróleo no Brasil depois da quebra do monopólio em 1997 ate o ano de 2005

This work is analyzing the challenges which the National Petrol Agency is facing to regulate the Petrol industry in Brazil after the Monopoly crash in the period between 1997 until 2005. Due to the necessities of adaptation of its political strategies to the rules which determine the international economic flows, Brazil was forced to use the Economic Regulation in order to control the market. The regulation established in Brazil is not indifferent to imperfect markets. Thus can be find a conflict of interests among companies, the government and consumers within this process of regulation. The established agency does not have enough autonomy for administrating a regulation. The State with its paternalism power does not allow the agency to fulfill its function for which it was established, even though its function was established by law. A regulating policy which is clearly defined will establish a strong and independent agency with a clear limitation of its competences, avoiding divergent interpretation which prioritizes investments and promotes economic development. The agency will have the challenge to regulate the companies that enter the sector, allowing the opening of the market for new initiatives of investments which contribute to the welfare of the country and breaking at the same time the monopoly that is lead by Petrobras since 1953. Combining a stable set of rules with agility in order to adapt to changes will provide the regulator with a great decision-making power. The flexibility in the regulation will improve the correcting of the rules that were set in the beginning, being more efficient, which are based on acquired experience and achieved results. The structure of the agency and the flexibility of the regulation should be orientated on the promotion of competition in order to achieve economic and social development.

Em busca da autonomia operacional do Banco Central do Brasil como instrumento de estabilização da moeda

Os Bancos Centrais têm, como função principal, zelar pela moeda, de modo a assegurar a estabilidade financeira de seus países. A partir de tal premissa, buscaremos demonstrar que o Banco Central do Brasil necessita de autonomia operacional, a ser regulamentada em lei, a fim de cumprir com sua missão, que é de natureza essencialmente técnica. Em que pese o fato de questão de se implementar, no Brasil, um Banco Central dotado de autonomia não ser consensual, buscaremos demonstrar as vantagens deste modelo, como fator de obtenção de estabilidade monetária. No Brasil, o Banco Central (BACEN), além de arcar com uma enorme gama de atribuições, encontra-se sujeito a pressões governamentais, em face de projetos de curto prazo, não necessariamente compatíveis com a tarefa de estabilização monetária, que pode requerer uma atuação de longo prazo. A autonomia desejada para o BACEN não significa que ele venha a se tomar independente, pelo contrário, uma vez que ele terá que assumir a responsabilidade de atingir metas pré-determinadas pelo Governo, obrigando-se a prestar contas de sua atuação à sociedade, de modo transparente. Para tanto, é preciso que ele seja dotado de autonomia administrativa, orçamentária e operacional, dentro de limites estabelecidos por lei. Ao destacarmos a autonomia do BACEN, trazemos a tona um fator pertinente à questão que é inflação. Trata-se de um processo que corrói a economia, e, quando se toma crônica, 111 como vinha ocorrendo no Brasil até os anos 90, leva à instabilidade e dificulta um planejamento de longo prazo. A necessidade de se controlar a inflação, em muitos países, levou-os a adotar uma política monetária com metas inflacionárias - Inflatíon Targeting. Os países que adotaram o regime de metas inflacionárias conferiram autonomia aos seus Bancos Centrais, pois tanto mais autonomia, tanto mais credibilidade. Desta forma, países como o Chile, a Nova Zelândia, a Alemanha e os demais países que compõem a União Europeia lograram controlar a inflação. Para que o BACEN cumpra com o que lhe compete, exercendo eficientemente o seu papel, é curial, portanto, que seja dotado de autonomia orçamentária, administrativa e operacional, devendo ser regulamentado o art. 192 da Constituição Federal, através de Lei Complementar. Uma vez assegurada legalmente a autonomia de que o Banco Central do Brasil necessita, ter-se-á um meio valioso de controle da inflação, assegurando a estabilidade da moeda e permitindo que o desenvolvimento seja implementado no prazo adequado, permitindo um planejamento estratégico de longo prazo para o país.

The present work has as its basic purpose observing the principal administrative changes originated from the implementation of the Social Organization Project, inserted in the recent administrative reforms in Brazil, proposed from the Director Plan of the State Reform and approved by the National Congress in November of 1995. In the course of the text will be presented the main factors of the transformation from a bureaucratic public administration to a managerial public administration, specifically focusing the change from a Government Organization to a Social Organization. To reach the proposed objective, a case study of the Brazilian Association of Light Sincrotron Technology - ABTLuS, that represented the first Social Organization installed in Brazil, responsible for the management of the National Laboratory of Light Sincrotron - LNLS, under form of administration contract signed with Nationl Research Council - CNPq and Science and Technology Ministry - MCT. Initially, was developed the theoretical framework, based on the existent literature. Proceeding, field researches were realized in the cities of Campinas - SP, in Brasília - DF and in Rio de Janeiro - RJ. As a consequence of the accomplished work, it was possible to observe that the implementation of the SO administrative model brought more administrative flexibility for the qualified institution. This fact induced to gains of agility and efficiency, with more responsibilities, for the leaders as well as for the employees of ABTLuS. As for the other two important items consisted in the Director Plan, related with the cultural change (from bureaucratic to managerial) and with the social control (larger interaction in the relationship State-society), it is important to stand out the need of a larger time for evaluation, considering that the LNLS presents peculiar characteristics (subject approached in the work). The Social Organization ABTLuS counts with a little more than two years of administration contract, therefore the process is still in course.

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 controle das relações entre o estado e organizações da sociedade civil: as perspectivas do TCU e do TCE-RJ

This dissertation is an analysis of how is happening in practice, the control of relations between the public sector and civil society organisations (NGOs) after the establishment of the legal framework of the third sector at the end of the decade of 90. This analysis focuses on the prospects of two organisations of the Brazilian government: Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU) and Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (TCE-RJ). This study addresses the problem from the description of the historical context in relation to recent changes in the role of the state and public management. We proceed a review of the literature on the new models of public management, detailing the relevant aspects. It was also, briefly, as Brazil is facing these changes, the new legal framework of the third sector and the question of control of the relationship between state and civil society organizations. To evaluate the situation on the control of NGOs is held, initially, a survey of information collected in several audits conducted by TCU and TEC-RJ, as well as interviews with representatives of these organisations to achieve the main issues involving the control of transfers of public resources for these entities in the third sector. The analysis of results suggests that the control of the results expected in the new legal framework of the third sector is not consolidated in practice, and even in relation to traditional bureaucratic control there remain significant gaps that put at risk the correct application of public funds earmarked for NGOs.

Metodologia de custeio baseado em atividades implementada no Banco Central do Brasil: uma análise de seus desdobramentos

In the last years, there has been a strong tendency of transferring typical business management concepts and practices to the public administration, such as: efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness, economy, operational excellence, results and transparency. The limited offer of resources, as well as the growing demand for accountability, justifies that movement. In order to put the aforementioned concepts into operation, the public administration uses some mechanisms, among them cost management. This dissertation focuses on the use of cost management systems, based on an activity-based costing (ABC) method, by Brazilian public entities. The present analysis is conducted from the ABC system implemented in the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) - an indirect public administration autarchy - the main goal of this study is to examine its outcomes since the implementation of the system. The investigation went through three main questions: if the system is being used, if it is fulfilling the objectives sought and, finally, if it is providing the expected benefits. Semi-structured interviews were made with members of the institution; and, according to the assumptions and tools tailored for this study, the collected data were analysed qualitatively. Evidences indicate that information, when not manipulated in a systematic way, hinder not only the incorporation of the cost system to the routine, but also the achievement of the goals and benefits aimed with such implementation.
