Reality of the monitoring and control of the quality of the information rendered by local authorities

The aim with this essay is the lack of verification results of the implementation of the territorial rulers. The fiscal control in Colombia is made later and selectively, it means when public policies framed in development plans have already been implemented and the budgets already committed. There is however an entity in charge to measure the overall performance of the municipalities, however the methodology for such measurement does not include verification of the impact on the community use of resources. It brings governments to be measured according the implementation of their budgets, but it is not based on the results; therefore there is a poor quality of some of the services provided by institutions. Based information to measure performance and to control local governments, is taken from the reports that are made through multiple platforms and formats designed according to the requirements of the receiving entity, without a component verification information. A poor rating may depend not report on time, inconsistencies in it, or the non-execution of the budget. None of the methodologies analyzed for this test shows a control or verification results, leading to the conclusion that the entities are measured by compliance with the reporting, for the implementation of their budgets, but not by the good use of resources.
