Abstract

OBJECTIVE: the objective of this study is to analyze the implications of the sanctioning regime established in Article 39 of Decree 31-2002, the Organic Law of the General Comptroller’s Office, and its impact on good practices in public management. METHOD: a cross-sectional study was conducted, divided into three phases: (1) investigative phase, in which information was gathered from the research subjects; (2) demonstrative phase, through the integration, tabulation, and analysis of the collected data; and (3) expository phase, which presents the results obtained. The research is both descriptive and documentary. RESULTS: the study found partial acceptance of the null hypothesis: “The current structure of the sanctioning regime established in the Organic Law of the General Comptroller’s Office promotes good practices in public management.” 26.7% of the research subjects believe that the current structure of the sanctioning regime does not contribute to strengthening good practices in public management, while 73.3% disagree. CONCLUSION: the current structure of the sanctioning regime, as established in Article 39 of Decree 31-2002, contributes to strengthening good practices in public management, based on the support of 73.3% of the survey participants
