CGU analysis provides data on the 10 most benefited entities from 2020 to 2024; body indicates limitations in the transparency of funds
A technical analysis carried out by the (Comptroller General of the Union) shows that 5 of the 10 NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) that received the most amendment transfers from 2020 to 2024 do not have the technical or operational capacity to execute the contracts.
One of the cases analyzed concerns agreements to implement professional training centers in the State of Rio de Janeiro and the development of an educational program focused on music. The CGU concluded that the entity did not have a structure compatible with the volume of resources involved in the partnerships signed.
Another example is an entity that received amounts to promote surveys and studies on the application of legal protection principles for people with disabilities, also in Rio, and on the application of accessibility policies in 20 municipalities in Rio de Janeiro.
According to the agency, however, the entity did not have the technical and operational infrastructure, at the time, to carry out the services. The CGU also indicates that this reflected in the “full outsourcing of its executions, that is, through the transfer, in a chain, of resources from the federal budget, […]and subsequently to legal entities and subcontractors responsible for the full execution of the projects”.
Among the limitations found throughout the survey of the 10 entities, the agency states that situations were found in the general framework “recurring” of deficient technical and operational capacity, fragile governance mechanisms, transparency in the disclosure of information regarding the execution of funds and work plans that are not very detailed, which leads to difficulties in monitoring the implementation of projects.
The data was compiled in response to a demand from the STF (Supreme Federal Court) within actions dealing with congressmen’s amendments. The determination was made by Minister Flávio Dino, rapporteur of these processes, back in August.
The amendments have been the target of a series of decisions by the minister, who suspended their transfers until mechanisms are defined by Congress that provide greater transparency regarding their destination and who indicated the funds.
This is one of the points raised by the CGU in the report. Based on the analysis of the 10 NGOs, the body verified that the mechanisms for monitoring and monitoring the execution of transfers “they are incipient, not allowing the execution of the agreed objects or the goals set out in the transfer instruments to be assessed”.
