    Corruption can be understood as the expression of deviant behavior from an ethical, moral, legal, and administrative point of view in institutions, both internally and in the relationships they establish with the outside. As it is considered a global problem, the phenomenon attracts the attention of international organizations that seek ways to combat it, since it negatively impacts not only the economy but also the human and social development of countries. In this sense, the promotion of integrity takes place in institutional arrangements. Integrity refers to a set of behaviors and actions consistent with ethical principles and standards, with the potential to create a barrier that prevents the permeation of corruption in organizations (Transparency International, 2019). In the search to create this legal and institutional barrier at the national level, Brazil has historically invested in legislation and structural arrangements aimed at promoting and maintaining integrity. As a “leading organization” and model in the implementation of integrity, the country has the Controladoria Geral da União (CGU), which, among other functions, carries out internal control through correction (CGU, 2024). Fundamental components of this internal control system, the Federal Internal Affairs Departments are responsible for conducting, under the supervision of the CGU, correctional procedures that aim to punish irregular acts by public agents and also private individuals in relations with the public administration. The Internal Affair Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA) was chosen for this study, since, in 2019, it implemented an innovation in its institutional arrangement to optimize work and improve the results of the sector, without demanding new resources from the Union. This innovation took the form of specialized subunits that were called Permanent Disciplinary Centers/ Núcleos Permanentes Disciplinares (NPDs). The main objective of this dissertation was to investigate the MAPA Internal Affair Office and the NPDs as an institutional innovation, analyzing why the idea arose and how the creation of the centers was possible, how this (re)arrangement was implemented in the agency and what impacts were caused on the structure, functioning and results, after this change of paradigm and way of working. For this analysis, institutionalist theories were used as a basis, mainly those brought in the studies of Tolbert & Zucker (1999), DiMaggio & Powell (1983), Mahoney & Thelen (2010), Meyer & Rowan (1997) and Scott (2014), studied with the application of a systematic literature review. Qualitative research was developed, of a descriptive and explanatory nature through the study of the case, analyzing the data found in public documents, legislation and standards issued pertaining to the theme and the case studied and interpreting the data in light of the theory. After the analyses were carried out, the research findings indicated that, made possible by the political and social context, centralization in management and reinterpretation of standards, when seeking a solution to a problem of excessive liabilities, the administrative authority of MAPA at the time, took the lead in operationalizing the NPDs, through the implementation of a new methodology, which in addition to unprecedented practices, brought about changes in the work paradigm. Based on an experimental “task force action”, which, having proven its effectiveness through results was consolidated as a response, the Centers were standardized and legitimized as perennial sectors. It was clear that there was a radical increase in the relevance and presence of MAPA's Internal Affairs Department in the agency's management reports after the restructuring, with a positive contrast in the results presented by the sector. From an academic point of view, the originality of the research is revealed in the analysis of an unprecedented management format in the field of Internal Affairs. In institutional and social terms, the research contributed to the identification that a strategic change in the application and management of existing resources can generate optimization of the work and good results for Internal Affairs subjects, increasing institutional legal security, honoring the public interest in punishing irregular actions and, therefore, contributing to a greater objective of increasing citizens' trust in public organizations. It is suggested that new research be developed in the internal control sectors of public institutions, in order to identify models that can serve to improve the provision of the public internal control service, as was found in this study.
