Abstract

Within the dynamic framework of governance in public institutions, operational efficiency and transparency are crucial imperatives. This study explores the pivotal role of information systems (IS) and management control in enhancing public governance. By examining the complex interactions between these systems, the research highlights their capacity to strengthen strategic decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and promote organizational accountability. Through a comprehensive analysis of governance practices in diverse public contexts, this study identifies specific challenges faced by public managers and proposes recommendations to enhance institutional integrity and foster effective governance. Integrating concrete examples and case studies, this paper illustrates how IS and management control can serve as powerful levers to transform public management and maximize value for all stakeholders involved.
