Controle interno na gestão pública: o caso da assistência à saúde suplementar do servidor da UFC

Abstract

Within the Public Administration, control is a basic premise for the verification of the correct application of the resources originating from taxes you pay. Because of that, every state entity is subject to appropriate accountability to any remedy being used by the observation of the principles of constitutional legality, impersonality, morality, transparency and efficiency. Article 74 of the present Constitution stipulates that the authorities should adopt integrated system of internal control in order to, among other purposes, prevent waste or misuse to ensure minimum conditions for the accomplishment of what has been planned by management. In such context, this research seeks to answer how the actions of internal control are being implemented by the Bureau of Human Resources of the Federal University of Ceará - SRH / UFC, under the Health Insurance Program of the Servant, about safety of operations, achievement of the goals of the Program and its guiding principles. Facing this challenge, the main objective of this research is to examine if the legal rules established by the Federal Government for the implementation of the Program of Assistance for Supplemental Health of the Servant are being satisfactorily met by the superintendent of Human Resources of Federal University of Ceará (UFC-SRH), comparing the degree of alignment to the goals and principles of internal control, applicable to public administration. The methodology consisted of direct observation of bureaucratic routine, verification of official documents, examination of the adopted procedures, and implementation of the census questionnaire among managers within the SRH / UFC and stratified random sample of servants that comprise the target audience of additional health policy at UFC. It is concluded that there is a need to review the actions of internal control adopted in the management of the Program of Assistance for supplementary health of the servant, due to the occurrence of situations outside the applicable legal standard, the low level of automation of procedures and security of payments made; low efficacy of the health care market in relation to the stated objectives and instruments of communication between managers as well as within teams and the servants.
