Sistema de informação de custos no Setor Público Municipal: um estudo sistêmico no Estado do Pará

Abstract

This thesis has as main objective to analyse the difficulties in the implementation of the municipal cost information system for the elaboration of the budget planning in the municipalities of Pará of over 50,000 inhabitants considering their specific characteristics and regional characteristics and as specific objectives: to identify the contributions of the conceptual models of SICSP in Brazil; raise the difficulties of municipalities to adopt the cost information system; to verify if the municipalities have some initiative of mapping of costs in the administrative routines currently developed and to verify if the municipalities have administrative and systemic structure to implant the system of information of costs in the models of the analysed models. At the methodological level, it is a research based on the Theory of Social Systems, of the bibliographic and documentary type, with an exploratory character since a survey was made with the municipalities in the state of Pará through the application of questionnaires and interviews semi structured with the municipal secretaries and accountants with the adoption of the heuristic method. It was found that despite the knowledge of the pertinent legislation the adoption of the SICSP, is not attended due to the following difficulties: system of capture of the is inefficient (80%); disqualified personnel system (70%); inadequate management system (63.33%) and manager accountability system is not linked to the basic management logic: planning, execution, control (56.65%). It is observed that the adoption of the SICSP is still incipient, since approximately 20% of respondents adopt a cost system, of which 16,67% use a system of analysis and evaluation, so the vast majority is not using the cost information for analysis and decision making, only for control and cut expenses. only for control and reduction of expenses. It was observed that the lack of action of the supervisory bodies on the use of cost systems occurs due to the autonomy of the federative entities, that is, as a result of the imposition of the regulatory bodies and of external control, the municipalities end up not complying with the legislation the integrated. Thus, financial management systems adopted by the municipalities do not have the functionality of capturing the data in a way that can obtain the cost information for decision making and subsidize the elaboration of public policies.
