Tribunal Superior De Cuentas Honduras TSC

What Tribunal Superior De Cuentas Honduras TSC does

Tribunal Superior de Cuentas (TSC) is the constitutional Supreme Audit Institution (Ente Contralor del Estado) of the Republic of Honduras, established in 2003 under Article 222 of the Honduran Constitution. It holds exclusive mandate over the a posteriori fiscal auditing of funds, assets, and resources administered by the three branches of state, decentralized institutions, all 298 municipalities, and any public or private entity receiving public resources. The institution is led by a Pleno de Magistrados, currently presided over by Magistrate Ricardo Alfredo Montes Nájera (since March 2, 2026), and is entirely funded through the national budget of Honduras — it does not generate commercial revenue.

TSC's operating model centers on an interconnected platform of in-house digital systems that execute and track its audit mandate. Core systems include SISERA (audit recommendation tracking), MARCI (Institutional Internal Control Framework), SINACORP (overarching Public Resource Control System), HIS (audit information system), and the Sistema de Declaración Jurada en Línea (online sworn declaration system for public servants' income, assets, and liabilities). Supporting digital products include the Citizen Denunciation Portal, Solvency Certificate System, Transparency Portal, SATS (technical assistance for municipal internal audit units), and a Virtual Library. Capacity building is delivered through CENCACORP (training center), and preventive anti-corruption work is channeled through the 'Rescatando Valores' educational program.

Service delivery combines a Tegucigalpa headquarters with three regional offices (San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba, Santa Rosa de Copán) plus digital self-service channels for declarations and complaints. TSC coordinates with internal audit units (UAIs) across all audited entities and reports indications of criminal responsibility to the Ministerio Público — a notable example being the 2020-2021 COVID-19 emergency procurement audits of Invest-H mobile hospitals and COPECO ventilators. The institution holds international memberships in INTOSAI, OLACEFS, OCCEFS, and CFR-SICA, and was designated in June 2026 as Honduras's National Focal Point for the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC).
