One of the objectives of the Regional Development Councils (COREDEs), as well as the mechanisms of public transparency, is the correct application of public resources. This study aimed to identify the factors related to the level of transparency of the 77 municipalities of the RF7 planning functional region. The factors evaluated were socioeconomic (unemployment, investment, debt, Municipal Human Development Index (IDHM) and Firjan Index), politicians (electoral turnout, political competition, reelection, the gender of the mayor) and a demographic factor (population). All data, of secondary origin, were collected on databases available on the internet. For the analysis, descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques were used. The results showed that there is a positive relationship between the index of transparency and the population size and annual investment of the municipality; already with the electoral turnout and the unemployment has verified the existence of a negative relation. In addition, there was no relationship between transparency and municipal debt, with the Municipal Human Development Index (IDHM), the Firjan Municipal Development Index (IFDM) and the political competition factor.
