The Political, social and economic changes have effects on the way public institutions operate. The majority agreement among the democratic countries of the world configured regimes based on freedom and the creation of margins and limits for the public Power.
Post-Enlightenment democracy, as a political regime, reconfigured the relationship between society and government, so that public organizations They had to modify their management dynamics and instruments oriented towards greater collaboration, transparency, cooperation and openness between government and society.
Today, the exponential use of the Internet and the countless information made available in real time on the network is also an important variable to describe how current State institutions evolve through mechanisms of transparency and accountability in real time.
The transition towards openness has been, to a large extent, conditioned by the progress in the definition of mechanisms to generate, capture, compile and manage information. It is a fact that there are global advances in this regard; the almost unanimous recognition of the right to access information in the world and the acceptance of promising international commitments such as the case of the International Charter of Open Data.
However, regulatory progress, while generating expectations, warns of the need to implement public policies and institutional practices that effectively make them a reality.
In terms of political change towards democracy in the world, consensus was built on fundamental values such as transparency and the value of public information, starting with the agencies or institutions themselves, which already have their own mechanisms to disseminate the necessary information directly, with the savings in time and efficiency required.
Open data is —according to the International Open Data Charter— “digital data that is made available with the necessary technical and legal characteristics so that it can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone, at any time and in any place.”
This information made available in this type of format offers the possibility not only of informing, but also of interacting and carrying out analyses using different techniques and for different purposes.
If open data is optimally leveraged, then its functional value is guaranteed. We therefore recognize the public utility and technological advantages that open data offer in creating enabling governance environments.
In the case of institutions dedicated to accountability, oversight and policy evaluation, our role will be crucial to move in that direction and create virtuous circles. This is the case of the Public Audit Consultation System (http://www.asfdatos.gob.mx/), where it is possible to review statistics of all audits of the ASF and their findings using search criteria such as the period audited, the number and type of audit, the entities audited, the shares issued and the current status within the audit process.
It also records the data on complaints and promotions resulting from the audit process that the ASF presents or promotes before other authorities for proper monitoring or resolution.
Both federal agencies and state governments are in the same situation, and have interesting spaces for dissemination.
