Abstract
This article proposes a theoretical framework to explain the failure of the compulsory adoption of new practices in the financial management cycle in local governments. The empirical analysis applies the framework to the control systems implementation in Brazilian municipalities. The findings of a qualitative comparative analysis applied to
seven local governments show that despite human capabilities and information systems being a necessary condition, they are insufficient to deeply implement such internal control practices. Institutional capital is a condition sine qua non for the adoption of new practices on financial management and control in Brazilian local governments.
The adoption of such reforms depends on an active network of powerful actors involved in institutional work supporting the changes.
