Semi-structured interviews and direct observation were used as techniques, using as an instrument a guide of open questions about auditing processes and experiences in the supervision of works. The results showed that forensic auditing has contributed significantly to identify irregularities, improve transparency and strengthen accountability through the use of digital tools. It was concluded that its systematic application has been key to optimize the management of public works in Peru.
