Abstract

This article aims to analyze how the Public Interest Civil Organizations (PICO) of Uberlândia are accountable for their activities on the Internet. The methodology used was of descriptive nature and the approach qualitative, the research was based on the collection of evidence in articles, researches, laws and observation on the websites of the researched entities. The sample was composed of 29 organizations. The results obtained show that the entities practically do not disclose the rendering of accounts in their electronic pages, thus demonstrating lack of transparency of their activities with their users. However, it was detected that alternative forms have been used by the institutions to show the results of the performed activities. These results suggest that further studies on the subject should be undertaken in order to contribute to a discussion on transparency, accountability and other alternative forms of evidence.
