However, the PGN is not only visible during the results sharing phase,
but rather, it is also present during any follow-up that ensues. In this
sense, the PGN by means of the provincial Attorney General of Vélez,
the National Archives, the Governor of Santander and the general
comptrollership of Santander actively participated in the follow-up
by conducting a training workshop on document management. This
training was carried out on May 27, 2011, in the municipality of
Vélez because the province of Vélez of Santander comprises 50 percent
of the municipalities with the greatest difficulties according to the
results of the IGA. One hundred and fifty-two civil servants from 20
municipalities attended the event.
Conclusion
The IGA is a preventative and innovative tool that seeks to contribute
to the improvement of oversight in local public administration by
means of systematic compliance monitoring of strategic regulations
