STF Orders Accelerated Audits of Health Amendments, Imposes Tight Deadlines

The move responds to widespread irregularities in emenda‑funded health spending following years of eroded audit capacity.

Overview

  • DENASUS must submit a revised, faster audit timetable within ten business days after its 2027 horizon was rejected.
  • The Health Ministry has thirty business days to present an emergency plan to rebuild DENASUS’s operational capacity.
  • The AGU and the Casa Civil have five business days to deliver pending Perse data and detail steps to standardize ministerial ordinances.
  • A partial report found 698 of 1,282 accounts still irregular, tied to more than R$335 million, with about R$66 million yet to be spent.
  • Dino said audits must conclude within the current presidential term and cited the surge in health amendments—from R$5.7 billion in 2016 to a projected R$26.3 billion in 2025—to justify stronger controls.
