Contribución de los hallazgos y recomendaciones del Informe de la Auditoría de Seguimiento a la Auditoría Regular General remitido a la Unidad Educativa Alberto Andrade Arízaga Brummel, Cuenca-Azuay (Ecuador) en el diseño de un Plan de Mejora relacionado con los Estándares del Desempeño Profesional Directivo señalados como no logrados

Abstract

This research is focused on the analysis of the results and recommendations obtained from the follow-up audit to the general regular audit that was implemented through a contribution at Alberto Andrade Arízaga Brummel School (Unidad Educativa), in the design of an Improvement Plan associated to the Senior Professional Performance Standards which were marked as not achieved. Then, it was applied the 4Ls methodology known in Spanish as (Logros, Limitaciones, Lecciones aprendidas y Líneas a seguir) and in English known as: (Achievements, Limitations, Lessons learned and Lines to follow), based on the scientific literature in order to systematize the results of the audit and the interview conducted to the MSc. Tatiana Vásquez Vice principal of that school. Once it was identified that the school repeatedly failed to accomplish with various Senior Professional Performance Standards, we proceeded to analyze the reasons of these recurring issues. In this way, an analysis of the findings and recommendations of the audit report was developed, determining that they are ambiguous and generate confusion for the actors in charge of carrying out the school improvement plan because there are not objectively stated the legal guidelines, the responsible people, the resources and the goals that should be achieved in the medium and short term. On the other hand, the absence of a permanent authority, who would allow continuous monitoring of the school’s problems was noticed. Therefore, the recommendations for future research in educational auditing are left based in the results obtained in the audit.
