Contribuição da Controladoria-Geral da União na avaliação do programa SAMU no Brasil

Abstract

The Federal Constitution enacted in 1988 promoted the decentralization of public policies for state and municipal entities, however, the planning and formatting of these policies still remain at the federal level. Due to this decentralization and seeking to ensure adherence between the planning and execution of public policies, the federal government has strengthened and structured control mechanisms. Within the scope of the Federal Executive Branch, the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) is the organ responsible for carrying out activities related to the defense of public assets and the increase of management transparency, through control and evaluation actions. This study analyzes the contributions of CGU in the evaluation of public health policies, specifically in the Mobile Emergency Service (SAMU). The developed research used the qualitative approach whose analysis of the data was made through content analysis of Bardin based on the Evaluation Report of the Execution of Government Program nº 61 of the Mobile Emergency Service - SAMU 192. The work data showed that CGU's performance promoted improvements within the scope of the SAMU program through measures such as the improvement of internal procedures or the adoption of new procedures; reimbursement of amounts unduly paid; adoption by the manager of corrective measures that were recommended by CGU; strengthening of control mechanisms; alteration of internal routines; accountability for the identified deviations; indication of waste in the execution of the program's funding resources; identification of deficiencies in the monitoring of the program; among other recommendations
