Resumen:
Este artículo explora el desarrollo constitucional y legal de la Contraloría General de la República de Chile, considerando una perspectiva histórica y comparada. Tras referirse a sus orígenes legales en 1927, este artículo discurre sobre las razones que presidieron su constitucionalización en 1943 y 1980, lo que ha llevado a hacer de ella un órgano de control administrativo autónomo, en casi todos sus aspectos, en el sistema político chileno. Así también queda de manifiesto cuando ella es comparada con órganos de control administrativo semejantes existentes en la región, lo que permite visualizar la singularidad de aquélla.
Palabras clave: Contraloría; control; fiscalización.
Abstract:
This article explores the constitutional and legal development of the Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic of Chile taking into account both a historic and comparative perspective. After dwelling on the legal origins of this agency back in 1927, this article deals with the reasons that presided over the writing of this agency into the Chilean constitution both in 1943 and 1980, which gave way to an almost autonomous agency of administrative oversight in the Chilean political system. The latter stands out after comparing this agency with similar offices that exist in the region, which points out to the distinctiveness of the aforementioned agency.
Keywords: Comptroller; control; oversight.
