Mediação como instrumento de solução de conflitos no Tribunal de Contas

This article examines mediation as an effective tool for resolving conflicts within the Audit Courts. In a scenario marked by the complexity of relationships between public managers and control bodies, mediation appears as a viable alternative to prevent and resolve disputes, promoting a constructive dialogue between the parties involved. The study addresses the legal foundations of mediation, its advantages compared to traditional conflict resolution methods, and the challenges of its implementation in a technical and specialized environment such as the Court of Auditors. The research also sought to highlight the potential of mediation to improve administrative efficiency, reduce unnecessary judicializations and strengthen public governance. Furthermore, the growing importance of using artificial intelligence (AI) in this context is addressed, with emphasis on how AI-based technologies can help manage complex information, identify recurring patterns in administrative conflicts and suggest customized solutions for disputes.
