Resumen:
La presente investigación fue realizada con el propósito de evaluar el control interno aplicado a los expedientes presentados previo al pago de los procesos de contratación pública efectuados en CELEC EP Termoesmeraldas durante el año 2018. El desarrollo del proceso investigativo buscó responder al problema científico referente a cómo se desarrolla el sistema de control interno realizado sobre esta actividad. Debido a esto se hizo imperioso y necesario como objetivo de investigación, evaluar los procesos de control realizados hasta la fecha. El trabajo se justificó debido a la gran importancia de efectuar una evaluación al flujo o procedimiento de control efectuado en cada una de las etapas por las cuales pasa un proceso de contratación porque es necesario determinar las causas por la cuales existen tantas inconsistencias y desfases que originan las observaciones levantadas por el área financiera durante la revisión previo al pago. Según los datos de la evaluación de control interno, se concluye estableciendo que la institución posee un nivel de riesgo medio, que no brinda una seguridad total y que debe ser mejorado para proveer de eficiencia, eficacia y seguridad razonable en la realización de los procesos de contratación realizados por la entidad, siendo las principales deficiencias los documentos faltantes en la etapa preparatoria, precontractual y contractual, documentos pendientes de legalizar, solicitudes de requerimientos posteriores al término de vigencia del contrato inicial, falta de documentos habilitantes para pago, concesión de prórrogas sin autorización, facturación de bienes con cantidades equivocadas, entre otros aspectos.
