Práticas de compliance nas contratações públicas da secretaria estadual de saúde do Tocantins

Abstract

Compliance strengthens the credibility of public institutions before society and control bodies, contributing to the continuous improvement of services offered to the population. It helps prevent irregularities, such as fraud and corruption, promoting more efficient and ethical management of public resources allocated to a given sector. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyze the application of compliance in the administrative practices of public contracting and acquisitions of the State Department of Health of Tocantins, highlighting the importance of compliance to optimize the use of public resources in contracting, with a view to compliance with the law and related regulations. The methodological design was carried out with a qualitative approach through documentary research to understand and verify the state of this process in the organization. The state has great demands for its implementation. However, during the research it was verified that the institutionalization of compliance mechanisms exists in the processes and procedures, albeit in an incipient and non-formalized way.
