Abstract

Durante las últimas décadas la lucha contra la corrupción ha tomado un rol preponderante en la opinión pública y en las relaciones de la ciudadanía con las instituciones estatales en América Latina. El presente artículo evalúa si el control fiscal territorial, es decir, la auditoría de los presupuestos públicos de las entidades estatales locales, ha contribuido a visibilizar este fenómeno y a desincentivar actos de corrupción que afecten a la ciudadanía. Mediante la estimación de modelos de regresión multinivel con datos de encuestas a ciudadanos e información administrativa de las contralorías territoriales en Colombia se encontró que la percepción ciudadana de corrupción es mayor cuando hay una mejor capacidad y eficacia de las contralorías territoriales. Además, en los territorios hay ausencia de contralorías municipales y el control fiscal es ejercido por contralorías departamentales, se incrementa la probabilidad de que los funcionarios soliciten sobornos a la ciudadanía que recurre a sus servicios.
