[en] The legal regime of administrative responsibility in Venezuela is reviewed and compared with the accounting responsibility of the Spanish State, with the intention of determining the points of convergence and divergence between both legal institutions. To this end, the work has been structured into four chapters. In the first, the elements necessary to establish the appropriateness of application of each of the responsibilities analyzed are reviewed, defining their objective and subjective scope, the administrative and judicial bodies competent to declare them and the consequences arising from each. In the second, the 53 cases of administrative liability that are classified in the Venezuelan legal system are studied in detail, which are analyzed having as parameter the objective scope of the administrative responsibility, that is, if the typified assumption guarantees or not the adequate protection, use, administration and custody of the public patrimony. The third part examines the different stages comprising the administrative procedure to be followed in determining administrative liability. And, in the fourth and final chapter, the consequences of the declaration of administrative responsibility are detailed. It concludes by pointing out the similarities and differences between Venezuelan administrative responsibility and Spanish accounting responsibility; as well as the reforms to be made to the legal regime of administrative liability, in order to allow this legal institution to guarantee the purposes of safeguarding and protecting the Venezuelan public patrimony against any impairment action of administrative.

[gl] Revísase o réxime xurídico da responsabilidade administrativa en Venezuela e compárase coa responsabilidade contable do Estado español, coa intención determinar os puntos de coincidencia e de diverxencia entre ambas as institucións xurídicas. Con ese obxectivo, o traballo estruturouse en catro capítulos. No primeiro, revísanse os elementos necesarios para establecer a procedencia de aplicación de cada unha das responsabilidades analizadas, delimitando o seu ámbito obxectivo e subxectivo, os órganos administrativos e xudiciais competentes para declaralos e as consecuencias que se derivan de cada unha. No segundo, estúdanse con detalle os 53 supostos xeradores de responsabilidade administrativa que se atopan tipificados no ordenamento xurídico venezolano, os cales son analizados tendo como parámetro o ámbito obxectivo da responsabilidade administrativa, é dicir, se o suposto tipificado garante ou non a protección, utilización, administración e custodia adecuadas do patrimonio público. No terceiro, examínanse as diferentes etapas e fases que comprenden o procedemento administrativo que debe tramitarse para a determinación da responsabilidade administrativa. E, no cuarto e último capítulo, detállanse as consecuencias da declaración de responsabilidade administrativa. Conclúe sinalando as similitudes e diferenzas entre a responsabilidade administrativa venezolana e a responsabilidade contable española; así como as reformas que deben realizarse no réxime xurídico da responsabilidade administrativa, a fin de permitir que esta institución xurídica poida garantir as finalidades de salvagarda e protección do patrimonio público venezolano contra calquera acción de menoscabo de natureza administrativa.
