Research verifies whether NGOs and third sector entities reported on the internet the amounts arising from amendments of any type, received in the years 2020 to 2024
A report by the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) on the execution of pointed out a lack of disclosure or adequate transparency in the dissemination of information by half of a group of 26 non-governmental entities that had access to these resources.
The document was forwarded by the Attorney General’s Office (AGU) to the Federal Supreme Court (STF). The study meets the minister’s determination. To this end, the scope considered the 33 entities that benefited from commitments and/or payments made between December 2nd and 21st of last year.
According to the research, the CGU identified whether these NGOs and third sector entities reported on the internet, with total transparency, the amounts arising from parliamentary amendments of any type, received in the years 2020 to 2024. Furthermore, it investigated whether they were informed in that the resources were applied and converted.
From the scope analyzed, the CGU reached the following conclusions: 13 entities (50%) do not disclose or disclose information inappropriately; nine (35%) present the information partially; and only four (15%) promote transparency appropriately. Another seven entities were not included in the calculation, as they did not receive payment in the period from 2020 to 2024.
According to the survey, none of these entities are registered with restrictions or irregularities in the databases of two tools, the Registry of Barred Non-Profit Private Entities (Cepim) and the National Registry of Disreputable and Suspended Companies (Ceis).
Among the sanctions that an entity may suffer are temporary suspension from participating in tenders, declaration of unsuitability, impediment from bidding and contracting and prohibition from contracting. “In this context, the absence or insufficiency of active transparency makes control difficult, especially social control, essential for adequate supervision and ensuring accountability in the application of public resources”, says the report.
Parliamentary amendments are Budget resources that are applied to works and actions in accordance with the indication of deputies and senators. As rapporteur of a process that questions transparency in these operations, Dino has applied restrictions to the execution of these values since August 2024.
