In the management of municipal governments, access to information and transparency on public investment and budget execution is very restricted, since generally with reluctance and limitations, semiannual or annual reports are accessed, which makes not only effective social control but also accountability. The research aimed to understand the mechanisms of the accountability process that is implemented in the management of the municipal government of Puno. The study is documentary and qualitative. The empirical reference is based on the analysis of information corresponding to the financial years of 2011 - 2018. The results are: Accountability in the management of the municipal government of Puno conditioned by the political will of the municipal authorities and officials and in the Institutionalization of participatory mechanisms for access to information and transparency, denotes a partial, aggregate and unrepresentative nature expressed in public hearings. The aspects considered emphasize the legislative work, the budget report, the prioritized projects and the consolidated expenditure and investment report, which had a very global character. The limited representation is expressed as the participants in the public hearings were the managers of the works management committees, the users of the prioritized projects and supporters of the political organization of the municipal authority. Conclusion: The process of accountability of the municipal government of Puno implemented through the centralized or decentralized public hearings, had a partial, aggregate and limited representativeness.
