Decision aims to reinforce the traceability of public resources after evidence of failures and irregularities in transfers to states; Controllership has 10 days to present goals and deadlines
The Supreme Court (STF), Flávio Dino, determined that the CGU (Comptroller General of the Union) extend audits and perform face -to -face inspections in states where parliamentary amendments still exist without proper registration of labor plans.
The order was issued last Wednesday (7.mai.2025), within the process that deals with the transparency and traceability of the so -called “amendments pix”. According to Dino, the initiative aims to comply with the 2022 STF decision, which identified failures and irregularities in the way these amendments are distributed and executed.

Dino also ordered CGU to intensify audits related to amendments that do not yet have registered work plans, with special attention to cases in which it is used systematically “Passage Accounts” –mechanism that makes it difficult to identify the final destination of resources.
The controllership will have 10 business days to present a schedule with goals and deadlines for new inspections, as well as reporting which measures are being adopted to ensure the traceability of transfers, as required by the Constitution.
“Public money is not liquid to randomly drain in the face of inefficiencies, nor gaseous to crumble in the air due to misconduct,” said the minister.
Also according to the decision, the objective is to ensure that the amounts passed on through amendments have well defined use, either applied clearly or with proper accountability. Flávio Dino’s determination is based on CGU technical analyzes, which identified a series of irregularities in states and municipalities that received resources.
Among the problems found are the movement of funds in non -specific bank accounts – which makes control and monitoring difficult – absence of clear criteria for hiring products and services, lack of transparency in public information and signs of overpricing and deviation of resources, as occurred in the municipality of Balneário Gaivota, in Santa Catarina.
