EVALUATION OF INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY ON PUBLIC PORTALS IN RORAIMA: AUDIT AND STRENGTHENING OF SOCIAL CONTROL

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of transparency portals of the municipalities in the State of Roraima as tools for fiscal management and democracy promotion. The research adopts a theoretical basis focused on governmental transparency and social control, employing a documentary methodology to analyze the interface, functionality, and update of fiscal reports across 15 municipal portals. The main findings reveal a significant discrepancy in the quality of these portals, with some showcasing high transparency standards while others exhibit deficiencies that hinder compliance with legal requirements. The analysis suggests that the effectiveness of these portals is linked to local administrations' commitment to staff training and investment in adequate technology. Practical implications emphasize the need for technological improvements and ongoing training to enhance democratic governance and social control. As a theoretical contribution, the study underscores the importance of effective transparency portals as tools of citizenship. The main limitation lies in the restricted analysis to only 15 municipalities, which may not fully represent the reality across the state of Roraima.
