Compliance no setor público e a inovação no controle interno: programas de integridade como políticas de gestão de conflitos e anticorrupção

Abstract

The Public Administration has a duty to act ethically, transparently and efficiently, but the incidence of irregularities and conflicts between public agents remains a challenge that compromises trust in institutions and the credibility of public service. This paper investigates whether the implementation of public compliance programs– an experience imported from the private sector –promotes effectiveness as an anti-corruption measure and prevention of intrainstitutional conflicts.It is based on the hypothesis that compliance, by guiding the behavior of public agents, is an effective internal control tool for public management, defining dialogical standards of administrative morality, in order to prevent conflicts. The theoretical framework is defined by the ideas of Perez Filho (2019), who argues that corruption has multifactorial causes that can be mitigated by an effective compliance program, expanding management control beyond the mere legality of administrative acts. Finally, the methodology used in this article is a bibliographic, exploratory, interdisciplinary research,using the collection of primary and qualitative data.
