Um diagnóstico da improbidade nos municípios integrantes da Promotoria de Jacobina à luz dos julgamentos do TCM entre os anos de 2015 e 2019

Abstract

The scope of this work is to carry out a diagnosis of improbity in the municipalities that make up the Jacobina Prosecutor's Office. To this end, the judgments of the Court of Accounts of the Municipalities of Bahia were analyzed regarding the complaints received and the annual accounts of the Municipal Mayors and the Presidents of the City Councils, between the years of 2015 and 2019. From then on, it was possible to identify the acts of potential misconduct occurred in the proposed geographic space and time frame. As a theoretical framework, works by national sociologists such as Faoro, Buarque de Holanda and Jessé de Souza were revisited as a way of analyzing the historical weakness of the notion of public interest in Brazil. Improbity was related to the category of trust, Weber's Bureaucratic Theory and the relevance of accountability in democratic systems. The types of control (internal and external) and the typology of fraud in public tenders were addressed, with the aim of facilitating the understanding of the data obtained and the propose d measures. At the end, suggestions were made for the improvement of repressive and preventive means to combat improbity, notably the institution of an integrity program, the reinforcement of public transparency, internal and social controls, the use of special investigation techniques and greater exchange of information between the members of the Public Administration control system.
