Avaliação da Transparência no estado de Alagoas: um estudo nos municípios alagoanos

Abstract

Technological changes and innovations impacted the form of public administration and between government and governed. The possibilities of access to information have expanded, as well as pressure from the various sectors of society for transparency required public agents to take action to meet the demands for information on execution and budgeting by the public. In Brazil, the Standard Constitution provides access to information as a fundamental right, and advertising as one of the principles that guide public administration. In order to establish criteria, objectives and goals that would meet the need for transparency and fiscal sustainability, the Fiscal Responsibility Law and the Access to Information Law were raised, which serve as a parameter for all federal entities. However, non-compliance and non-applicability of legal requirements regarding the clear topic are still common, damaging the democratic system as a whole. This work aims to investigate, through exploratory research, the applicability and compliance with the relevant legislation in the municipalities of Alagoas, collecting information referring to the years 2018 to 2020. It was observed that none of the municipalities met all legal requirements, which reinforces the need for inspection by inspection bodies.
