Gustavson & Sundstrom (2018) (Morin, 2010;Clark et al, 2007). Por fim, autonomia financeira para decidir sobre seu orçamento, autonomia sobre seus processos internos (incluindo o que auditar, como auditar, o que não auditarrelacionados ao aspecto operacional), e autonomia para selecionar seu pessoal (via concurso público) também é positivamente associado à sua atuação independente (Morin, 2010;Gustavson & Sundstrom, 2018).…”
