Both the dictatorial regimes and the periods considered democratic had a marked level of corruption, but in the case of dictatorships, authoritarianism prevented investigations were carried out, even in the democratic period we had the fall of a president involved with corruption. Even with all these situations corruption did not disappear in the opposite direction, it has improved and gained new formats, these with more difficulty to be detected. In this sense, audit, which is a branch of accounting, assumes a fundamental role in combating this Brazilian structural problem, which, if it is possible to identify it from its beginnings, still today accentuates the most serious social problems of society and is found in all social levels, whether in the public or private sphere. For this work we use documentary analysis as Laws and norms, and bibliographical survey to foment the discussion around the thematic one. With the basic objective of analyzing the importance ofauditing in the prevention, identification and combat of corruption.

The Lean Manufacturing System is a process of continuous improvement composed of strategic tools, whose implementation and execution result in low cost, avoiding rework, facilitating in the development of the process, becoming an innovative management and adding value to the final product. Therefore, this article aims to present the applicability of the 5 senses in a consulting company in Lean Manufacturing, carried out in two sectors: fabric stock and finishing / dispatch processes in the line of professional uniforms. The specific objectives that guided the study design are to identify the main bottlenecks of the process, to involve the people, to apply the tool in the problematic sectors. The results of this study present the layout change and adjustmentsto improve the productivity of the shipping sector and the organization of the stock.This implementation occurred in a systemic way, in which the process failures were first identified and the execution of the tasks needed to be improved, then the 5S tool was applied. With the application of the 5S Tool in the sectors involved, the improvements were implemented, enabling a quantitative and qualitative survey of the existing supplies and fabrics, providing better optimization, reorganization and standardization of activities.

Despite some scientists’ criticisms of the past on the question of the Case Study method credibility, currently, among the research methods, case study is one of the most popular. In some moments, studies using this method have been targets of criticism inthe scientific world. In addition, the case study has been misunderstood as a simple method, an exploratory research stage, and even mistaken for the ethnographic research or participant observation. Therefore, there is a need to immerse in the field of case study to better understand how and when it applies. One way for it is via analysis of the scientific publications in journals depending on the period of interest of the researcher. Thus, this article aimed to analyze case studies published on the base SPELL in the thematic area of environmental management, from 2015 to 2018. The analysis involved categories such as: names of the journals published, number of articles, main keywords and Qualis/CAPES rate by journal. The method used for data collection was the scientific base Spell (Scientific Periodicals Electronic Library). We used "environmental management" as the keyword. As the method for article selection, we chose the ones classified as case study, published in the Portuguese languagein the following areas of knowledge: Business Administration, economics and engineering. As for the approach, this work is of quantitative/qualitative nature. Twenty-one (21) articles were analyzed and the results showed that: eight (8) were published in the ”Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade” journal, three (3) in the ”Desenvolvimento em Questão” journal, two (2) in the Administration Journal of the Federal University of Santa Maria -UFSM, two (2) in the “Gestão e Sociedade” journal and one article for each of the five journals found.
