A month after a controversy over government, via press and social networks, the CGU (Comptroller General of the Union) and the NGO International Transparency, author of the ranking, found themselves in the same room at an official event in the French capital.
CGU minister Vinicius Marques de Carvalho and the NGO CEO, A, participated on Tuesday (25) in a conference on business integrity, an event parallel to the Global Forum of Integrity and Anti-Corruption (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). The two composed different tables and, in their lines, did not address the controversy.
In February, Carvalho had compared to a “bargain conversation” the newly told (IPC) perception rate of international transparency. Brazil had its worst result in the historical ranking series, created in 1995: 107th among 180 countries.
A Sheet Heard Martini and Carvalho after the event. Both adopted a diplomatic tone. Martini pointed out that, as a world CEO, he would not speak on behalf of the Brazilian NGO team. “The national questions are the ones who answer,” he explained.
CGU’s criticism has to do with the methodology that measures the perception of corruption. According to international transparency, the index uses “13 different data sources of 12 distinct institutions”, from the private sector and experts.
“You can have perception research, no problem with this,” said Carvalho. “My question was that, from perception, international transparency extracts conclusions that are not in the research. We end up having a perception of perception.”
After Carvalho used the expression “bar conversation”, International Transparency Brazil posted on social networks a criticism of President Lula for, according to the NGO, mentioned the theme corruption “in less than 5% of his official speeches.”
Maíra Martini said the CPI criteria are subject to debate: “There are several angles for us to discuss what the ranking shows and what the ranking doesn’t show. But stop debting I think it’s a problem.”
Em In February, she expressed fear that the annulment of evidence of the Odebrecht report, determined by the Supreme Court (STF), leads to the impunity of corrupt in the countries where the contractor had business.
This Wednesday (26), both Carvalho and Martini participated in the Global Forum, at OECD headquarters, also in different sessions.
In a debate with the theme “How to galvanize the private sector as a partner in the fight against corruption”, the Minister of CGU presented initiatives of the Brazilian government, such as the Pro-practical seal, which rewards companies that adopt measures of integrity.
The CEO of Transparency, in turn, presented the new opacity rate of real estate property, which assigns a note to ease or not to launder money by buying properties. Brazil is one of the 24 countries in the unprecedented study and was “in the middle” of the ranking in 13th place.
This Thursday (27), participates in the OECD Forum Minister Bruno Dantas, of the TCU (Court of Auditors of the Union). He will talk about the use of new technologies by the agency, such as LabContas, a platform that integrates databases and facilitates the crossing by auditors, and Chattcu, an artificial intelligence tool which, according to him, increased the court’s efficiency.
“Our ambition is to connect LabContas with Chattcu, and then the sky is the limit, because we will have millions of terabytes of information,” he told the report.
The OECD is an international organization to support sustainable economic development. It currently has 38 members, most of Europe and North America. Candidate for the OECD for several years, Brazil has been considered a “key partner”, participating in its activities even without the status of a full member.
Tuesday’s parallel event was organized by the Global-Rede Brasil Pact, UN initiative, and ICC Brazil, which brings together Brazilian members of the International Chamber of Commerce, a business organization. In it, the global pact signed a document by giving official support to an initiative of CGU, the Brazil Pact for the Business Integrity.
The two “pacts” invite companies to voluntary adhesion. The Global Pact Anti -Corruption Platform brings together over 350 Brazilian companies. CGU’s Brazil Pact encourages companies to self -evaluate and improve their integrity measures.
