Abstract

The paper analyzes the role that it has done the Contraloría General de la República in the control of the Chilean government procurement, as well as in the formulation of principles and regulations. It also describes the direct instruments of control available to the Comptroller: toma de razón, replacement checks and audits. It also explains that the role of the Comptroller should be seen as one link in a complex system which also involves the Unidad de Análisis Financiero, la Fiscalía Nacional Económica y la Dirección de Compras y Contratación Pública.
