Desafíos del Control Fiscal para combatir la corrupción en Colombia

Abstract

Strengthening justice should be one of the fundamental daily goals of the national government, but the reality in the Colombian nation is that the shortage of judges results in a lack of fiscal and legal control for all government entities; This translates into the fear and distribution of “spending” and investing economic resources in the country's legal function and, on many occasions, the government has relied on the phrase “if it costs more, it is a bigger problem”. Therefore, the republic's comptrollerships are fundamental for fiscal control and the fight against corruption in Colombia, however, there is evidence of a disconnection of the territorial entities that represent the Colombian people with the aforementioned comptrollerships, such as mayors and governorships; especially in the lack of coordination and execution of actions to have greater security and protection of public funds and / or resources. Finally, a major problem is analyzed which is the fiscal control model in Colombia, since the obsolete Colombian model is not to prevent corruption and subsequent "theft" from the public treasury, but to recover a minimum percentage of economic resources "Lost."
