Show Abstract
The overall objective of this research was to explore the consequences of the budget and financial contingency of Union on management of Administration Units – UG, seeking to reveal the relation between the impact on management and the artifices adopted by managers with the possibility of potential contingencies. This is an exploratory, qualitative research, conducted by collecting, processing and interpreting the data from judgments of the Federal Court of Accounts – TCU on the processes of annual accounts of UG government agencies, autarchies and foundations located in the State of São Paulo, from 2001 to 2006. Data analysis was based on content analysis which involved the choice of documents, formulating hypotheses and indicators of measurement, and also the use of the chi-square test to statistically evaluate the research hypotheses. The study revealed the difficulty of sustaining the association of contingency management to the impacts identified in the analysis of the determinants of TCU during the selected period. We concluded that it is not possible to identify impacts in management potentially related to the possibility of contingency; however, the effects are manifested in the form of devices adopted by managers to facilitate the budget execution.
