IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: AN INTERDISCIPLINAR ANALYSIS BETWEEN LAW AND ADMINISTRATION

Abstract

This article analyzes the implementation of compliance programs in Public Administration as an instrument for preventing unlawful acts and strengthening public governance, based on an interdisciplinary approach between Law and Administration. The research, of a bibliographic and documentary nature, examines the main mechanisms that constitute effective integrity programs, such as codes of conduct, internal audits, risk management, duediligence procedures, and whistleblowing channels, contextualizing them within the public sector. From a legal perspective, the study is primarily grounded in the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Law (Law No. 12,846/2013) and the Administrative Improbity Law (Law No. 8,429/1992), highlighting their role in accountability and in promoting integrity practices within public institutions. The analysis demonstrates that the adoption of compliance programs contributes not only to the mitigation of corruption risks and administrative irregularities, but also to the enhancement of transparency, efficiency, and accountability in public management. It is concluded that the effectiveness of such initiatives depends on the integration between the legal framework and managerial instruments, as well as on the commitment of senior management and the consolidation of anorganizational culture guided by ethics and the public interest.
