Now, the , the (Comptroller General of the Union) and the (Advocacy General of the Union) will have to provide standards and guidelines so that there is adequate application and accountability regarding resources – which must have transparency and traceability.
The rules will apply to universities and their respective supporting foundations. Here is the order (PDF – 125 kB).
According to Dino, “there are reports in the records that such foundations, through hiring NGOs [Organização Não Governamental] without objective criteria, they have served as instruments for transferring amounts arising from parliamentary amendments”.
AMENDMENTS TO NGOS
On January 3, Dino paid amendments from congressmen to 13 NGOs due to gaps in transparency regarding the resources received.
The decision came after a report by the CGU showing that 26 NGOs among those that received the most funds from amendments in 2024 did not present transparent information about the transfers. The survey was carried out at the request of the magistrate.
Dino also determined that these entities be included in the Cepim (Register of Barred Non-Profit Private Entities) and the Ceis (National Register of Disqualified and Suspended Companies) by the competent bodies of the Executive Branch.
