Atricon

What Atricon does

Atricon – Associação dos Membros dos Tribunais de Contas do Brasil is a non-profit civil association founded in 1992 that serves as the national coordinating body for all 33 Brazilian Courts of Accounts, including the federal Tribunal de Contas da União (TCU), 27 state-level Tribunais de Contas Estaduais (TCEs), and 5 municipal-level Tribunais de Contas Municipais (TCMs). The organization represents 226 councillors and ministers across these courts and operates with a small staff of 14 employees headquartered in Brasília. Its core function is to facilitate cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and joint initiatives across Brazil's previously fragmented external control system.

Atricon's technical infrastructure is built around a portfolio of digital portals and collaborative platforms rather than commercial products. The Acervo Técnico dos TCs functions as a national technical repository of manuals, guides, and studies produced by member courts. The ODS nos Tribunais de Contas portal organizes and disseminates experiences from all 33 courts relating to the UN Sustainable Development Goals across 17 SDG categories. InfoContas operates as the national network of strategic information for external control, coordinating intelligence and data-driven oversight across courts. Rede Integrar, formalised through a Technical Cooperation Agreement with TCU and IRB, anchors integrated multi-court fiscal actions — 48 actions were executed in 2025, of which 42 were integrated across multiple courts. Additional platforms include Radar da Transparência (transparency monitoring) and the Programa Nacional de Transparência Pública (PNTP).

Atricon does not operate a commercial revenue model. As a non-profit association, it is funded through member contributions and partnerships, with all outputs (publications, platforms, guidelines) distributed freely to member courts, public managers, and citizens. The organization delivers value through national events (notably the annual Encontro Nacional dos Tribunais de Contas), coordinated fiscal actions, shared technical resources, and strategic partnerships with TCU, IRB, the Ministry of Environment, Centro Brasil no Clima, and peer associations such as ANTC, Audicon, and Ampcon. Recent strategic moves include the 2025 amendment establishing the Rede Integrar Strategic Committee, the 2026 climate cooperation initiative, and the structuring of the Rede que Protege women-protection oversight network.

Direct peers

Co-participant with Atricon in the Rede Nacional de Controle Externo pela Proteção das Mulheres, operating in the same external control ecosystem with overlapping member base.
• Instituto Rui Barbosa (IRB): Instituto Rui Barbosa is the strategic partner of Atricon in Brazil's external control system, co-signing the Rede Integrar agreement and coordinating technical committees. Both are national associations serving the Courts of Accounts and engaging in unified audit methodology development.
• Ampcon (Associação Nacional do Ministério Público de Contas): National association of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Accounts in Brazil. Peer professional association operating alongside Atricon within the same oversight system and co-participant in collaborative national networks.
• Audicon (Associação Nacional dos Ministros e Conselheiros Substitutos dos Tribunais de Contas): National association of substitute ministers and councillors of the Courts of Accounts.

Broad incumbents
