Adequações na governança corporativa da petróleo brasileiro s.a. para evitar a pratica de atos lesivos descritos na lei Nº 12.846

Abstract

Brazil has a history marked by cases of corruption involving political parties, agents of public power and companies. In March 2014 the federal police discovered a scheme where private companies paid to take advantage of bidding processes for works promoted by Petrobras. In December 2014, Petrobras announced the creation of the Board of Governance, Risk and Compliance, to comply with national regulations of regulatory agencies and avoiding association with acts harmful to public administration. In this context, the present study aims to compare corporate governance practices between 2013 and 2014, seeking to identify if there were changes that mitigated the practice of corruptive conduct. This is a descriptive and qualitative research, since it is more related to the collection of information to help in understanding the theme. The information was collected through the Financial Statements disclosed on the company's own website. In 2013, there was a structural change in corporate governance, with the monitoring and execution of strategic issues. In 2014, even with the creation of a Corporate Governance Board, Petrobras has breached the basic principles of corporate governance. The study shows that the diversion of money and associations with acts harmful to the public administration were not inhibited by the creation of a Board of Corporate Governance, being evidenced that the changes of management depend more on the interests of those in charge of the organization than structures to establish a governance corporate governance.
