Contribuciones al área de Regulación Financiera en el Acueducto Metropolitano de Bucaramanga

Abstract

The Acueducto Metropolitano de Bucaramanga S.A. E.S.P. plays a fundamental role in the provision of public water supply services, which requires adequate financial and regulatory management to ensure its sustainability. The main issue that motivated the development of my professional internship was the need to strengthen the processes of updating, systematizing, and reporting financial and regulatory information to external entities. The objective was to support the strengthening of the Regulatory Area of the Financial Management Department through activities related to updating corporate indicators, preparing technical reports, developing macroeconomic projections, and reviewing financial statements such as the income statement and the balance sheet. As a result of the work carried out during the internship, it was possible to improve the organization and monitoring of corporate indicators, as well as optimize the preparation of reports requested by external entities, including the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit. I also supported the projection of economic variables relevant to the company’s financial planning. During January and February, I contributed to the review of the consolidated 2025 year‑end report submitted to the Ministry of Finance, verifying the fulfillment of the projections established for that year and assisting in the development of the initial scenarios for the 2026 financial projections. This experience strengthened internal processes within the Regulatory Area and consolidated my technical and analytical skills, allowing me to better understand the role of financial and regulatory analysis in the management of public utilities companies.
