The specific objectives aimed at distinguishing their levels of agreement, measuring their partial efficiency and analyzing the significance of the relationships between the factors conditioning efficiency and their compliance levels. We used data extracted from 200 lawsuits filed in opposition to the State of Pernambuco and its Direct or Indirect Public Administration Organs, provided they are defended by the State Attorney General's Office. In order to confirm or reject the statistical significance between the conditioning factors, the following chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests will be used. Through the results obtained it was possible to conclude that the Calculations Division is an important sector in the composition of the State Attorney General, since it can generate a savings of 44% to the public coffers through its performance.
