Abstract

As a very popular topic in the Public Administration literature, many studies have been published about the internal control, but mostly from a perspective of public management or accounting. The trajectory of this phenomenon dates to the beginning of the twentieth century and enters the 21st century. However, the 1987 National Constituent Assembly marked the beginning of the reformulation of the internal control system of the Federal Executive Power in Brazil in a democratic context. This article analyzes what were the institutional changes in the internal control system of the Brazilian Federal Executive between the Constitution of 1967 and 1988. Using the theory of institutional changes, this article intends to contribute to the literature of Social Sciences and Political Science on the types of changes that occurred, the types of political agents involved in such changes, as well as interpret the influence of the political context at the time on the results promulgated with the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988.
