Abstract

The audits or special examinations applied to the institutions and public companies of Ecuador are generally corrective, for which the management audit would support the public companies to prevent actions with sanctions through the recommendations that come out of their reports. The purpose of this research is to know the state of audit management and to know the benefits that they generate in the application for good management. A non-experimental explanatory descriptive analysis was applied to describe the performance of the Comptroller through its final reports; Likewise, a sample was taken for the study of four public companies of the state universities of the province of Manabí. The results found show that the audit reports carried out in the year 2020 were 324; among them 134 are general reports and 64 are criminal reports mainly Autonomous Municipal Governments and the Ministry of Health. Likewise, the four public companies demonstrate that they do not have an internal auditor within their organization chart. It is concluded that the management audit is not applied 100% in public companies, nor is the importance of the benefits of control through an audit that its purpose is to avoid the embezzlement of public funds.
