Technical area of the report of the Court of Audit (TCU) will consider irregular so-called "tax pedaling" made by the government Dilma Rousseff last year. Thus, the rapporteur of the case at TCU, Minister Augusto Nardes indicated to colleagues that the court will ask the plenary to reject the presidential accounts.
It is also defined that the debt generated by the Union by delaying fund transfers to public banks, through these maneuvers, should be incorporated by the Central Bank in the fiscal statistics, which did not occur.
The white paper goes only for final review before being forwarded to Nardes, which must distribute on Thursday its report to the other ministers. The assessment of the 2014 presidential accounts is expected to occur on Wednesday. The chairman of the court, Minister Aroldo Cedraz, mark the session.
TCU will produce an opinion that will be sent to Congress. It is the responsibility of parliamentarians the final decision on the accounts - deputies and senators can follow or not the understanding of TCU.Over the past 78 years, TCU always approved the federal accounts. The opposition and rebellious sectors of the allied base expect a rejection of the 2014 accounts by the court to open impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff.
The Fiscal Responsibility Act prohibits a public financial institution to lend to its parent, in this case the Union. The government argues that the advances made by Caixa did not provide loans, but the provision of services. Despite this rationale, the government itself tried to submit to TCU last week a proposal for changes in the contracts between the case and the Union to prevent cycling, observed in 2014 continue in the future.
The rapporteur of the case at TCU is already prepared for a possible reaction of the government to rejection. Wednesday, Nardes said the possible submission of an appeal by the government against the court's decision has to be sent to Congress, and not the court of accounts.
