Um olhar da aplicação da Lei de Acesso à Informação 12.527/2011: uma análise no portal da transparência no município de João Pessoa/PB

Abstract

The article seeks to demonstrate how the Law on Access to Information 12.527 / 2011 (LAI) is applied in public agencies. Thus, it is intended to point out the importance of access to information to citizens and also the effects caused by LAI in public entities. Although LAI was regulated in 2012, federal public agencies are still in the process of being adjusted to meet the standards required by law. Through a qualitative, exploratory and documentary research, we seek to understand the applicability of the Access to Information Law, through an analysis of the diagnostic report obtained through the website of the Court of Auditors of the State of Paraíba. The general objective of the research is to demonstrate the importance of any citizen's access to information for democracy and the specific objectives are to identify the application of the Access to Information Law on the Paraíba Court of Auditors website and to investigate the transparency portal of the city hall of João Pessoa. Finally, we find that the city of João Pessoa is a reference in terms of transparency of public information through its Transparency Portal.
