Abstract

Corruption is synonymous poverty and general delay for the society that contains it, being in these places where this public problem often operates from high levels, through authorities that hold political and / or economic power, a circumstance that is used by interest groups to create regulations that privilege their benefit to the detriment of the general interest. For this reason, the objective of this paper is to provide a proposal that does not only focus on institutional or regulatory changes to address this problem, because this issue persists despite administrative or legal reforms. In this sense, this work proposes an alternative that allows to anticipate and control corruption from its root. Method. The main source of the information will be documentary, through bibliographic collection instruments, being the "analysis" the procedure for the treatment of the collected information. Results The proposal is based on the formation of citizen commissions for transparency and anti-corruption, so that they are those that serve as support to control the corruption of the main institutions or state organisms, so that they are those who give support to control the corruption of the main institutions or state agencies. These commissions will operate under a method whose process has the following steps: diagnosis of a public institution, risk management, planning, articulation, internal communication, controls, management audit, measurement and improvement. Conclusion. The results and the proposal of this article are not definitive, but rather aim to open certain lines of discussion for future research and applications.
