Purpose: to analyze the situation of the external control of municipal accounts in the state of Pará in relation to timeliness of information and its relation to the democratic process in the sense of accountability
Methodology: The research was developed with the support of the stakeholder theory, classified as exploratory, descriptive of quantitative approach. An exploratory investigation supported the subject investigated, starting from the cataloging of the 144 municipalities that form the state of Pará, with consolidated accounts. Using the empirical-analytical method, a longitudinal database of nine consecutive years was formed from 2008 to 2016. The data were collected on the website of the Court of Accounts of the Municipalities of the State of Pará (TCM / PA). The variable of analysis was the time spent by the court to render decisions on municipal accounts
Results: The findings revealed that the 146 municipalities delivered a total of 2,330 accounts in the period from 2008 to 2016, and only 600 cases were appreciated. Between the protocol date and the TCM / PA decision presented a median of four and a maximum of eight years
Contributions of the Study: The research contributes to the dissemination of information on the timeliness of assessments of municipal public accounts by the courts of accounts. For information to have utility to users should be timely. The fact that the control of the courts of accounts happens to posteori, timing becomes relevant because it deals with information necessary to democracy. According to Melo, Pereira and Figueiredo (2009), government institutions to control the acts of public power have attracted, in the last decades, a greater attention of society. Pinho and Sacramento (2009) investigating accountability in Brazil demonstrate that society has participated more actively in the control of government actions in the last 20 years.
