Passalacqua drives a historic change in state oversight with a new Transparency Law: “We will continue working on concrete actions to provide answers to our people

The Chamber of Representatives of Misiones unanimously approved a reform to the Organic Law of the Court of Auditors, expanding its oversight powers to sixteen companies and corporations with state participation. This initiative, driven by the governor and supported across the political spectrum by the opposition, aims to close a regulatory gap by explicitly bringing under external control entities that manage public resources or provide essential services, operating in key sectors such as energy, water, and technology. The central objective of this modification is to strengthen transparency and accountability in the management of public funds, ensuring that the auditing of these organizations falls under an autonomous and independent body. By extending the scope of operational and documentary review to these corporations, it is guaranteed that the economic management of services vital to citizens is subject to rigorous scrutiny, promoting greater openness in the administration of provincial and municipal government. This legislation is relevant to open data because it establishes a mandatory legal framework for the generation and dissemination of audited information, additionally requiring the annual submission of results to the Legislature. By integrating a broad spectrum of public entities into the external control system, a structural foundation is created for the systematic publication of data on the use of resources and the functioning of public services. This not only improves institutional oversight but also facilitates civil society’s access to verified information on government management, fostering digital accountability.
