Descripción :	Nowadays, corruption scandals are rampantly and with increasing intensity exposing the misuse of public resources and the actions of dishonest public administrators. The use of scarce public resources has not allowed the hoped-for objectives to be reached. Even with no illegal act has been committed (here using the traditio-nal concept of illegality in Public Administration), it is not possible to ensure that public resources bring about the benefits expected by the population. With increasing frequency, the issue of control over public resources emerge. Consequently, local legislations and Admi-nistrative Law students look to create solutions to ensure Public Ad-ministration’s smoothness and the proper use of public resources, in order to create an environment that allows the collective purposes which justifies State collection of resources. However, the solutions in terms of control that come and are presented, cannot consider a sce-nario not present in Administrative Law, based on long-extinct struc-tures. If control is a tool destined to solve a problem, it seems funda-mental that this tool be in accordance with its field of application. It would be pointless to create a repair instrument that is useless for the damaged property’s characteristics. In this context, a discussion is formulated regarding the internal control of Public Administration. It follows that, in the control system of Administration itself and not by organs outside its organic structure, internal control is going through modifications and doctrinal discussions that aim to update it—althou-gh many times in disregard of the current Administration’s concept, structures and modus operandi. KEY WORDS: administration, internal control, public administration, effectiveness, purpose JEL CODE: H52, H72 RESUMENEn la actualidad, cada vez con mayor intensidad, pululan escándalos de corrupción que exponen el mal uso de recursos públicos y la acción de administradores públicos deshonestos. De la misma manera, el empleo de los escasos recursos públicos no ha permitido alcanzar los objetivos esperados. Es decir, incluso sin la comisión de cualquier acto ilí­cito (utilizando aquí­ el concepto tradicional de ilegalidad en la Administración Pública), no se logra asegurar que los recursos públicos traigan los beneficios esperados por la población. Cada vez con mayor frecuencia emerge el tema del control de los recursos públicos. Como consecuencia, las legislaciones locales y los estudiosos del Derecho Administrativo buscan crear soluciones para garantizar la lisura de la Administración Pública y el buen uso de los recursos públicos, con el fin de crear un entorno que permita realizar las finalidades colectivas justificantes de la recaudación de recursos por el Estado. Sin embargo, las soluciones en materia de control que vienen y que se presentan, no pueden considerar un escenario inexistente en el Derecho Administrativo, basado en estructuras hace tiempo extinguidas. Si se considera que el control es una herramienta destinada a resolver un problema, nos parece fundamental que esta herramienta esté de acuerdo con su campo de aplicación. De nada adelantarí­a formular un instrumento de reparación que resulte inútil para las caracterí­sticas del bien dañado. En ese contexto, se plantean discusiones acerca del control interno de la Administración Pública. En el sentido de que, el sistema de control realizado por la propia Administración y no por órganos fuera de su estructura orgánica, el control interno viene pasando por modificaciones y discusiones doctrinales que tienen como objetivo actualizarlo, aunque muchas veces en desconsideración del concepto, de las estructuras y del modus operandi de la Administración actual.
