Tribunal de Contas do Estado de Goiás, State audit court in central Goiânia, Brazil.
The Tribunal de Contas do Estado de Goiás is a courthouse and oversight body in Goiânia that monitors how the state spends public money. The institution reviews government contracts and agreements to ensure that state resources are used properly.
This court was established in 1947 as a key institution for managing public finances in the state of Goiás. Since then, it has grown into the central authority responsible for overseeing how all state money is handled and spent.
The court's sessions are open to the public, and the Ministério Público Especial, through the Procuradoria Geral de Contas, takes part in every judgment session and speaks on all matters submitted to the court's decision. The name Tribunal de Contas means court of accounts, and its seven councillors hold lifetime mandates, retiring compulsorily at 75.
The court sits at 640 Avenida Ubirajara Berocan Leite in the Setor Jaó, where it moved in 2016 after decades on the old Praça Cívica. Its seven councillors are backed by a technical staff of about 700. Sessions of judgment are open, and the Ministério Público Especial, through the Procuradoria Geral de Contas, speaks at every one of them.
The court has seven councillors, each appointed for life and compulsorily retired at 75. Three are chosen by the governor with the Legislative Assembly's approval, two of them alternately from among the auditors and the Ministério Público de Contas, and four by the Assembly itself.
