Public financial management is sometimes influenced by economic factors and conditions, which is why research on the need to optimize the use of available resources is indispensable. The research focuses on identifying relevant interpretative schemes and comparing them with innovative practices implemented in the city. This was carried out under a qualitative hermeneutic approach within the interpretive paradigm, where an exhaustive bibliographic review of databases such as PubMed, WoS and Scopus was conducted, critically evaluating material related to interpretive schemes and innovative practices in public financial management. The results reveal that financial management in Esmeraldas is structured in budgeting, accounting and treasury processes, highlighting transparency and accountability. Four key interpretive schemes were identified: control, responsibility, strategic planning and management by results, which help financial managers make informed decisions, optimize resources, and foster citizen participation and accountability. The application of these schemes is crucial to improve efficiency and transparency in the use of public resources, allowing detailed data analysis, preventing corruption and strengthening administrative integrity. Their implementation contributes to sustainable development and citizen confidence in public institutions, demonstrating their functionality in achieving efficient, transparent and accountable management of public resources.
