Changes in economic, political and social order of the world in recent decades has determiated a series of challenges to national Governments. The public administration while is organized rigidly and bureaucraticly and reigned by the Republican regime presents itself barely able to react facing the dynamics of technological innovations and therefore the elevation of society demands. The pursuit of efficiency and the strengthening of democracy requires not only an administrative reform, but a reform of the State. Therefore the public Governance appears as a new paradigm whose proposal indicates broader scopes creating a wider perspective of Government with an emphasis on efficiency and control. This expectation try to integrate politics and administration, management and public policy. Thence although there are several conceptions about the concept of public governance it can be said that its essence is a new comprehensive and integrated understanding that will result in best practices and best results for public administration. Within this conjuncture it becomes essential to assert the importance of this study in order to know the governance mechanisms adopted at the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and their suitability to the fundamental principles of governance. The core of this study is focused on the five control dimensions analysis control Environment; Risk assessment; Control activities; Information and communication and monitoring. The methodology used configurates as a qualitative approach of the information obtained tracing a parallel comparison between governance indices assigned by the units surveyed, the elements collected through interviews and observations set out in the data analysis based on literature that discipline a management approach based also on the concept of governance in the public sector. To analyze the mechanisms of governance adopted by the units interviewed showed that the quality and adequacy of internal controls are still inadequate to the control dimensions as the governance principles discussed in the COSO I (INTOSSAI, 2004). It is therefore concluded that the internal controls still demands structuring, normatization and sectorial responsibilities and competence definitions. It ends with a proposal of future actions for improving Governance in the context of the Federal University of Ceará.
