Context
The National Administration of Power Plants and Electrical Transmissions (UTE) is a Uruguayan public company operating in the energy sector. Its main function is the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy throughout the country.
The rule it puts in play
Reiterating an observed expenditure is an act provided for by law: the ordering officer may authorize it under their responsibility. Observed does not mean illegal. What the measurement shows is that prior control ruled against it and the expenditure was executed anyway.
What is missing to say more
To understand the magnitude of the decision, it would be necessary to know the details of the expenditures observed by prior control. It would also be useful to know if there are precedents for reiterating expenditures in UTE and under what circumstances they have occurred.
Who should answer
The Court of Auditors of the Republic (TCR) should explain the specific reasons why the expenditure was observed and whether it considers the reiteration to be in accordance with current regulations.
