Abstract

The main objective of this study is to carry out an academic analysis of the process of developing the concept of Corporate Governance in public entities, and of how it can be an efficient form of governance. The research methodology was based on a case study in the municipality of Quixeramobim - CE, using a closed questionnaire, applied with 2 councilors, 1 being opposition and another situation, as well as the municipal mayor. The term governance is used in different contexts and with different meanings. It is also noted that, in its origin, the expression governance was used to refer to development policies that were guided by certain assumptions about structural elements, such as management, responsibilities, transparency and legality of the public sector, considered necessary for the development of all societies.
