Passalacqua’s Transparency Law, approved unanimously, will take effect in January and cover 16 companies – Radio Cataratas

The enactment of the so-called “Passalacqua Transparency Law” in Misiones represents a significant step forward in public accountability by expanding the powers of the Court of Auditors. This reform enables the external oversight body to explicitly audit sixteen companies and corporations with state participation, closing previous regulatory gaps and ensuring that the management of resources in essential sectors such as energy, water, and telecommunications is subject to strict independent scrutiny. The central implication is the strengthening of institutional transparency and public trust by subjecting entities that manage public funds and provide basic services to comprehensive oversight. By bringing these organizations under the supervision of the Court of Auditors, a clear precedent is established regarding the importance of government oversight in mixed or state-owned enterprises, ensuring that public money is used efficiently and responsibly, as required by modern democracy. This case is relevant to open data because external audits generate critical information about the financial and operational management of the state. For transparency to be effective and for citizens to exercise their right to information, the results of these audits must be made available in open and accessible formats. This example illustrates how governance policies must be accompanied by the publication of structured data, enabling independent analysis and social scrutiny of public administrations.
