Abstract
In mid-2000, a complex network of corruption that captured various governmental entities during the last decade came to light. This prompted the subsequent emergence of a number of measures linked to the fight against corruption. During that period, the Superintendencia Nacional de Aduanas y de Administracion Tributaria (Sunat) was one of the institutions immersed in cases of grand corruption, and at the present it is an entity with high vulnerability to the incidence of cases of petty corruption. For this reason, since 2012, the Oficina de Fortalecimiento Etico y Lucha contra la Corrupcion (Oferlccor) has been set into operation. This institution has the objective to develop actions for prevention and control of corruption within various administrative processes of the entity. This article aims to identify the coordination mechanism used during the implementation of anticorruption policies in Sunat during the period 2012-2015. In addition, it seeks to describe what the main limitations that occurred during that process were. According to the research results, the main constraints were two: (i) the political influence of senior management during research processes, (ii) the overlapping of different policy devices, (iii) gaps in the operation of the Organo de Control Institucional (OCI), (iv) inefficient risk identification systems, (v) unequal technical capacities between the areas involved in the policy, as well as (vi) limited logistical and budgetary resources.

Summary
En el Perú, luego del régimen de Alberto Fujimori (1990-2000), surgieron una serie de iniciativas de lucha contra la corrupción, debido a las fatales consecuencias que tuvieron numerosos casos de corrupción que se presentaron en las altas esferas de poder gubernamental durante la década de los noventa. El estudio posee una metodología cualitativa, enfocándose en la obtención de información respecto a tres objetivos específicos: a) describir el proceso de implementación de la política anticorrupción en Sunat, b) identificar los mecanismos de coordinación gubernamental implementados, y c) analizar las limitaciones de la coordinación y problemas operativos que se presentaron en la entidad para llevar a cabo dicha política. La primera comprende una discusión teórica en torno al concepto de coordinación gubernamental; la segunda detalla el proceso de la política anticorrupción en el periodo de estudio; la tercera describe el diseño institucional de la política anticorrupción en Sunat; y la última sección aborda el funcionamiento de la Oficina de Fortalecimiento Ético y Lucha contra la Corrupción (Ofelccor), la identificación de los mecanismos de coordinación utilizados, así como cuáles son las principales limitaciones para la implementación de este tipo de políticas públicas
