In a recent move, Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) President Bruno Dantas has directed the Comptroller General's Office (CGU) to address obstacles hindering access to data related to the controversial 'secret budget' on the Transparency Portal. This initiative aims to enhance transparency and accountability in public spending.

The 'secret budget' refers to funds allocated outside the regular budgetary process, raising concerns about potential misuse and lack of oversight. President Dantas emphasized the importance of ensuring that citizens have access to comprehensive information regarding the allocation and expenditure of public resources.

The CGU has been tasked with identifying and removing any technical or administrative barriers that may impede the public's ability to access and analyze data on the Transparency Portal. This includes addressing issues such as data inconsistencies, lack of standardization, and user-friendliness. By streamlining the data access process, the CGU aims to promote greater transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.
