In the current context, access to public information has become an important instrument to promote transparency and insertion in the economy, and in the globalized information system. Studies released in this area have showed that countries which own laws to access public information and transparent economic indexes have registered less corruption rates, justifying, thus, legislative reviews and research on the subject in several regions around the world. From this scenario, the Coordination of Accounting and Finance Office of the Dean of Administration at Federal University of Paraíba recognizes it as a good and fundamental human right, and therefore it is not indifferent to a demand that arises with the Law on Access to Public Information. This research aims to analyze the accessibility to public information in the Accounting and Finance Coordination, in the Administrative Department at Federal University of Paraíba, based on the knowledge of the technical-administrative public empolyees on devices such as Law 12.527/2011. This research is of a descriptive nature, both qualitative and quantitative approach, that was developed through a case study. The data collection was conducted by a documentary research, by the application of mixed questionnaire and by direct observation structured in the website address of the institution. For this study, two methods were used to the treatment and analysis of the data obtained: For the quantitative ones, statistical analysis; and for the qualitative data, a content analysis. The theoretical reference addresses information as a necessary constructor for knowledge because it is motivated by the desire to satisfy a need and, therefore, to contemplate its own object of study of Information Science and as a public good; the archives as source of information and their access to the process of historical construction. After obtaining, treating, presenting and analyzing the research data, this study has showed that the empirical servers‘ field is not fundamental to Law 12.527/11, in which there are difficulties in communication, techniques, lack of modus operandi and classification of confidential information. These issues are reflected in the statistics registered by the Federal Comptroller General's Office. However, with regard to active transparency, Federal University of Paraíba‘s institutional webpage meets all the requirements of the Law on Access to Public Information for maintaining data and outdated information. Finally, despite a picture of insecurity and lack of knowledge, the study identifies the interest of the technical-administrative officials in knowing and deepening in the subject.
