Abstract

The article analyzes the STF decision in ADPF 982, which establishes the competence of Courts of Auditors to judge the management accounts of mayors when they act as expenditure originators. The text discusses the distinction between the political judgment of annual accounts (competence of the City Council) and the technical judgment of management accounts (competence of the Court of Auditors), reinforcing the supervisory role for the application of administrative sanctions and reimbursement to the treasury, regardless of immediate electoral repercussions.
