Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the influence of public transparency on the relationship between fiscal management and municipal performance. To achieve this objective, data from the 5,570 Brazilian municipalities from 2018 were analyzed. Data were collected in the sense of the IGM / CFA (Municipal Governance Index of the Federal Council of Administration) and analyzed through structural equation modeling, with use of Partial Least Squares (PSL). Results show that balance in fiscal management has a positive impact on municipal performance. Also, that public transparency has a positive influence on the relationship between fiscal management and municipal performance. It is concluded that transparency positively influences the balance of public accounts and the ability of municipalities to generate their own revenue, resulting in efficiency gains that impact the improvement and expansion of services provided to society.
