Office of the Comptroller General of Colombia, Government oversight agency in Bogotá, Colombia.

This government agency in Bogotá supervises how public funds are spent through audits and evaluations across all levels of administration. The office produces reports on public spending and verifies that tax money is managed according to legal standards.

The agency was created in 1923 following advice from American economist Edwin Walter Kemmerer, who came to Colombia during a period of financial reforms. His proposals aimed to modernize how public money was managed and establish independent oversight.

Its name comes from the Spanish "contralor", the official who countersigns and checks accounts. Since 1923 the Comptroller has audited the three branches of government, public universities, state-owned firms and even notaries handling public funds. A citizen request can prompt the office to take over a municipal or departmental case.

The first headquarters opened on 1 September 1923 at Carrera 9 with Calle 12, in the northern part of the historic La Candelaria district of Bogotá. The current Comptroller General is Carlos Felipe Córdoba Larrarte. Fiscal control is shared with departmental and municipal comptroller offices, which handle entities in their own territory.

The Comptroller General is appointed by the president, and the 1991 Constitution's article 268 sets out the officeholder's duties. The agency's audits cover the executive, legislative and judicial branches, plus autonomous bodies such as public universities and the Banco de la República, though disciplinary powers over the bank rest with the president alone.
