LEI DE NEWCOMB-BENFORD: UMA APLICAÇÃO COM DADOS DE EXECUÇÃO ORÇAMENTÁRIA DE DESPESAS COM A PANDEMIA DE COVID-19 NO ESTADO DO PARANÁ
Abstract
The present study sought to verify whether the Newcomb-Benford Law can be used to identify irregularities in the budget execution of expenses with the new Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. To this end, the formulation of the Newcomb-Benford Law was used to analyze the first and first two digits of expenses with the COVID-19 pandemic in the years 2020 to 2022 obtained from the Transparency Portal of the Government of the State of Paraná. Statistically, Pearson's Chi-square test, Mantissa Arc Test and Mean Absolute Deviation were used. Regarding the results, it is indicated that the budget execution data of expenses with the COVID-19 pandemic do not follow the expected distribution with the probabilities of the digits formulated by the Newcomb-Benford Law, which suggests further investigations aimed at confirmation of the regularity of these expenses.
