Control Interno en los procesos administrativos del GAD parroquial Abdón Calderón, cantón Santa Isabel. año 2023.

Abstract

The present study will address the internal control of the administrative processes of the Autonomous Decentralized Government (GAD by its Spanish acronym) of the “Abdón Calderón” Parish. An internal control structure is essential for organizations, regardless of its size or line of business. It works as a self-control mechanism that allows the management of risks inherent to its activity, optimizing processes for better performance of the entity. It refers to an implemented system that seeks to avoid malicious or wrong actions that could affect the organization or entity, guaranteeing that operations are conducted according to current regulations and that the entity functions efficiently and effectively to meet its goals. The situation of evaluating and optimizing the internal control mechanism in the Parish GAD is observed due to deficiencies in the monitoring and examination of activities, risk of errors, and irregularities within the "administrative processes." Among the goals, it is possible to name the following: assessing the internal control mechanism in the administrative processes of the Parish GAD to propose improvement strategies, using a descriptive approach, collecting data through documentary review, interviewing officials, and applying surveys. It is expected that the research will contribute to improving the internal control mechanism of the GAD, providing practical recommendations and instruments for decision-making by the authorities.
