The goal of the present article is to analyze the importance of citizen control in the integrity programs (compliance) of Brazilian’s state-owned enterprises with views to national development. To this end, the examination starts from his constitutional profile for the purpose of confirming that the pursuit of the public interest (from the community) and the social control are inseparable from the daily life of public enterprises and of government-controlled companies, as other organs and government entities. Following, the nuances of citizen control are investigated as an expression of participative and proactive democracy which demand a necessary minimal transparency of the public management acts. In the case of state-owned enterprises, the study reveals the enlarge need of that transparency, which contemporaneously adds to the implantation and maintenance of integrity programs (compliance) by force of the Anticorruption law (Lei nº 12.846/2013). Based on such programs, it chases to avoid corruption acts or at least minimize those effects. In the context emerges the citizen control’s importance, perhaps capable to avoid the repetition of situations like as from PETROBRAS that harms not only the company heritage as well as their employees, partnerships, shareholders, but also and principally the national development.
