RESUMO

The public sector plays an important role in society, and its effective governance may encourage the efficient use of resources, the demand for responsibility of reporting to the administrator of the resources; enhance administration and the delivery of goods, thus contributing to improve people’s lives. Many countries have gone through a complete re-evaluation of the role played by the government in society. This gives rise to a redefinition of the political-administrative relationship, which is devised to ensure that administrators face an increase in responsibility and a decrease in power. Within this context, the present dissertation aims at verifying the applicability to the public sector, of the principles and recommendations of corporative governance, as indicated in study 13 of PSC/IFAC, to the Brazilian Federal Public Sector. The qualitative approach, which comprised bibliographic and field research, was used in order to reach the intended purposes. Interviews were used for the data collection in the field research, and they presented two distinct parts: one using non-structured interview, which consisted of allowing the interviewee to report the situation of the management plans run under the presidency of Mr. Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Mr. da Silva; the other, based on structured interview, consisted of applying the questionnaire suggested by study 13, of PSC/IFAC, with questions on the governance recommendations for the public sector. The interview was carried out within the federal public administration, in special the Management Secretary – an organ within the Ministry of Planning, Budgeting and Management. In general terms, it is possible to state that the same principles that gave rise to the recommendation of governance, and that are emphasized in study 13, are in agreement with the basics of the Brazilian Public Administration. Therefore, the principles are absolutely applicable to the Brazilian Federal Public Sector. As far as governance recommendations go, it is noticeable that its thorough applicability is possible; however, one must take into account that the procedures verified are at a minimum level of governance, and that some recommendations have to be better adapted to the public sector, because they are still excessively focused on the private sector.
