Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Aplicação financeira e processos de controle de universidades federais(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-12-27) MENDES NETO, João de França; DIAS, Lidiane Nazaré da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4706661632242562This study aimed to propose the standardization of budget and financial management routines and the concomitant refinement of resource application control within the UFPA, through the development of a specific finance manual for Federal Universities. By analyzing the context of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), the study identified the need for a manual to standardize and improve budget and financial management routines, contributing to the optimization of public resources. The study focuses on the creation of a tailored finance guide for federal universities in digital format to assist administrators in managing resources in accordance with local public administration standards, along with legally mandated accountability. The research results highlight the relevance of the manual as a crucial tool to aid financial management in an environment marked by political and economic instability and the implementation of budget cuts and contingency measures. The manual contributes to promoting transparency and efficiency in public management and strengthens the accountability of those involved in the administrative process of available resources. Furthermore, the manual addresses essential topics such as fundamental concepts of public finance, relevant legislation, the main operations of SIAFI (Integrated Financial Administration System), budget consultations, GRU (Union Collection Guide) collection, and Treasury Management reports. It is expected that the use of the instruction guide, in conjunction with administrator training, will help improve financial administration in federal higher education institutions and promote efficiency in the use of public resources to meet the objectives of the academic institution in question. This investigation contributes to the field of Applied Economics by examining the financial administration of federal universities and presenting proposals to improve the use of available public resources. The manual produced is considered a tool to guide processes in the public sphere, encouraging transparency, accountability, and stimulating social participation in the oversight of these resources. The manual provides an opportunity to conduct research to provide information to managers and economists, and supports the formulation of strategies for the more efficient use of resources, contributing to the promotion of equity in higher education.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) A Informação pública sob a ótica do cidadão: uma avaliação da transparência ativa nos municípios paraenses à luz do relatório popular(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-06-20) MACEDO, Carlos André Araujo de; SOUSA, Allison Manoel de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5391186543607099; HTTPS://ORCID.ORG/0000-0002-5959-6078; DIAS, Lidiane Nazaré da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4706661632242562In the information age we live in today, transparency in public administration has become more vital than ever. Well-informed and engaged citizens are the foundation of a healthy democracy; access to quality public information is essential for them to perform their roles as overseers and active participants in government decisions that affect their lives. Citizen participation is necessary for the most efficient and effective economic decisions to promote an accurate allocation of resources, fostering trust in markets and thereby contributing to building a more prosperous future. This study explores the issue of active transparency in municipalities in the State of Pará, evaluating the quality of information provided in relation to an ideal model of citizen-oriented reporting - the Popular Report. Through the application of the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) model, along with the perspectives of Communication Theory and Disclosure Theory, we investigated the disclosure of information by municipalities in Pará in terms of active transparency, revealing a diverse scenario. We seek to contribute to the field of Applied Economics by offering data based on empirical evidence to guide the creation of public policies that encourage transparency and access to information. It was observed that real-time disclosure of municipal expenditures plays a key role in transparency. The findings support public managers and legislators by providing them with solid arguments to promote more efficient public communication adapted to the needs of citizens. The inclusion of the Popular Report in the monitoring structure of the Courts of Accounts is suggested as a way to promote greater institutional transparency. In this context, the study not only seeks to contribute to the dialogue on government transparency in Brazil, but also makes resources available to promote a municipal administration that is more accessible to citizens and participatory, in which the individual has an active role.Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) A Presença digital de conselhos de saúde: o uso de mídias sociais no processo de accountability de entidades de representação social(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-07-03) PINHEIRO, Cristina Lais dos Santos; DIAS, Lidiane Nazaré da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4706661632242562This research analyzed how the use of social media by state health councils can improve the accountability process and increase citizen participation. To this end, it analyzed almost 10,000 posts on the social networks Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter) from 26 State Health Councils during the period from January 2019 to August 2023, covering the period before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The data showed a substantial difference in the use of platforms between the different regions of Brazil, with councils in the South and Southeast regions standing out for their greater digital activity compared to those in the North and Northeast regions, which demonstrated a more discreet online presence, with fewer posts and interactions with the general public. A relevant finding of the study was the preference for the use of Facebook followed by Instagram among the health councils analyzed; on the other hand, X was the least used platform, indicating an underutilized opportunity for effective communication with society. The most common areas of publication in the posts of the state health councils were about the dissemination of the council's agenda, dissemination of the activities carried out by the council, and encouragement of public participation. On the other hand, little was published about accountability for the resources received for the council's activities, complaints, and full disclosure of reports and documents prepared by the council. The study concluded that social networks and other digital technologies play a fundamental role in strengthening transparency and promoting social responsibility and oversight by civil society. When used strategically, social networks can contribute significantly to increasing citizen participation and improving the visibility of the activities of the State Health Councils. The research results support the perceived accountability presented by Aleksovka; Schillemans and Grimmelikhuijsen (2019), who explain how people internalize responsibility through a moral and ethical sense of acting in favor of society. The research indicates that State Health Councils in Brazil have a great opportunity to use social media as a tool to promote accountability and engagement with citizens and society at large. However, it is essential to invest in training council members in digital skills and online communication to make the most of these platforms. It is also important to develop more efficient and personalized communication strategies for each region and specific target audience. The research highlights how social media can be used to foster transparency and encourage civic engagement in public administration – topics of extreme importance for Applied Economics with regard to the efficient allocation of public resources and the pursuit of social equity. By examining how councils operate online and how people engage with them digitally, the study contributes and impacts by presenting insights for policy makers and administrators seeking to improve the use of resources and promote justice in the health area. The findings of this research can help in the creation of strategies and public policies that aim to strengthen local governments and promote more active community participation in social development, contributing to a more efficient, transparent and democratic health system.
