The Management of a Public Institution is buoyed by law and should serve only the public interest. It is for the government to oversee the administration bodies directly and indirectly make the internal monitoring of their activities and managers to define which instruments will be used for this. The function of internal control is to verify the performance of these activities within their own bodies, is to evaluate and indicate the need for possible fixes, aiming to keep them within the law and facilitating the achievement of institutional goals. The study of internal control instruments used at the Federal University of Pampa aimed to analyze the existing internal control instruments in Pro-Rectories this university and its applicability in the institutional context. In this sense, this research is characterized as a case study, descriptive and qualitative, having as main instruments used for data collection interviews and direct observation.

It was found that the Administrative Pro-Rectories UNIPAMPA use some systems of the Federal Government such as the Integrated Financial Management System (SIAFI), the Student Information System (SIE-HR Module) and mainly Excel spreadsheets to perform internal control at the University. It was identified that there is a demand for these pro-rectors for implementing an internal system for managing, integrating, and aggregating available the information, assisting in monitoring activities and, consequently, the internal control pro-rector. At the end, we conclude that current tools work only partially contribute to the internal control in the Administrative Pro-Rectories UNIPAMPA and, therefore, improvements and adaptations of the internal control system. The ideal instruments for effective internal control in the Administrative Pro-Rectories university internal management system are automated, integrated, able to provide reliable information and management reporting at the desired time, with internet capability to satisfactorily complete all the demand and the rectory; staff adequate number of qualified and trained to assume control activities.
