Conaci

What Conaci does

Conaci (Conselho Nacional de Controle Interno) is a Brazilian non-profit national council founded in 2011 and headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, that coordinates internal control bodies across the federal, state, and municipal levels of government. It aggregates the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), all 27 state controller generals (CGEs), and municipal controllers (CGMs), creating the principal institutional forum for standardizing and professionalizing internal control practices in Brazilian public administration.

Its core deliverables center on the IA-CM (Internal Audit Capability Model) maturity framework, a suite of recurring Technical Chambers (including a new chamber dedicated to artificial intelligence in public control), a curriculum of courses and training programs, a publications operation, and a media platform branded as Conaci TV. The organization also convenes the annual Encontro Nacional — the 22nd edition scheduled for 2026 in Belo Horizonte — and has held 58 Technical Meetings since inception. Its technology footprint is primarily operational: event management, content distribution, and framework dissemination, with no disclosed proprietary software products.

The business model is institutional membership-funded rather than commercial. Conaci operates as a non-profit sustained by contributions from its member controllers and partner organizations, including the World Bank, TCU, IRB, and Pempal, with a lean secretariat of approximately 5 disclosed employees. There is no commercial revenue, no transactional pricing, and no traditional sales function; growth in reach is achieved through institutional partnerships, elected leadership cycles (the 2026-2027 board is led by President Leonardo Ferraz), and the propagation of frameworks and programming through member institutions that each have their own downstream footprint across Brazilian states and municipalities.

Direct peers

• CGU - Controladoria-Geral da União: Brazil's federal internal control body and a core member of Conaci. CGU operates the federal-level internal control function and collaborates with Conaci on national integrity policies and IA-CM adoption, making it the most directly comparable coordination counterpart.
• IRB - Instituto Rui Barbosa: Association of State Court of Accounts controllers in Brazil. IRB represents external control (legislative audit), and Conaci signed a 2026 cooperation agreement with IRB to harmonize internal and external control — directly comparable as a national coordination body for Brazilian public control.
• Rede de Controle da Gestão Pública: Network of Brazilian control and oversight bodies (TCU, CGU, state courts of accounts, state and municipal controllers) that coordinates actions to strengthen public management. Directly comparable to Conaci as a multi-stakeholder coordination network in Brazilian public control.

Emerging players

• Rede Nacional de Integridade Pública: Brazilian national integrity network of 51+ organs established on OECD recommendation. Conaci was one of its first members, and the network is an adjacent peer operating in the same integrity/transparency space with overlapping public administration constituencies.
• IDCT - Instituto de Desenvolvimento e Estudos Aplicados: Brazilian institute partnering with Conaci on the 'Diálogos sobre Controle Interno' webinar series. IDCT focuses on knowledge exchange in internal control, leadership, and governance, overlapping Conaci's training and content dissemination functions.

Broad incumbents

• TCU - Tribunal de Contas da União: Brazil's federal external audit court. TCU is a significantly larger and more authoritative entity that collaborates with Conaci on harmonizing internal and external control practices, occupying a parallel but more powerful position in the national governance architecture.
• INTOSAI - International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions: Global umbrella organization for supreme audit institutions. Conaci references Pempal (an INTOSAI community) in its publications, positioning INTOSAI as the international-scale peer for cross-jurisdiction coordination of public sector audit and control standards.
• IIA - Institute of Internal Auditors: Global professional association for internal auditors and the international steward of the IA-CM framework that Conaci promotes in Brazil. IIA operates at international scale with member chapters, training, and certification programs analogous to Conaci's national coordination role.
• OECD Public Governance Directorate: Multilateral body that issues governance and integrity standards. The Rede Nacional de Integridade Pública that Conaci joined originated from an OECD recommendation, making OECD a comparable standard-setting and convening institution for public governance.

Others

• AFAC - Associação dos Funcionários do Auge Fiscal: Note: omitted due to insufficient verifiable information about this organization's comparability to Conaci.
