This article aims to assess how the municipalities belonging to COREDE Produção / RS are providing data related to their acts of management, so that the local society can monitor the information from municipal public administration, once electronic means favour the supervision of the society over the acts undertaken by the public administration. The methodology consists on a research with a quantitative approach, of exploratory nature. The data collection was performed by accessing the contents from the web pages of the 21 studied cities and divided into three steps. In the first stage, results show that the studied cities publish general information on their homepages, though organized in a way that makes it difficult for citizens to have basic access. In the second stage, as to the items related to accounting and management of public resources, the best results found were related to the exposure of the information that demonstrates budget and financial transactions, except regarding payments to suppliers, still restricted from the population. Finally, the third step addresses the publishing of the legal aspects of management, in which the majority of the municipalities joined the process of informational transparency, contributing to the democratic practice in publishing the acts enacted in the administration, as recommended by the legislation.
