Summary:

  • Transparency Entity (EpT) cannot conduct the audit requested by Luís Montenegro.

  • The audit pertains to the "compliance" of income and asset declarations.

  • EpT lacks access to fiscal or banking databases, relying only on publicly available information.

Key Points on the Audit Request

The Transparency Entity (EpT) is facing scrutiny regarding its ability to conduct the audit requested by Luís Montenegro. The audit concerns the "compliance" of income and asset declarations and their "respective evolution". However, it has been clarified that this task does not fall within the institution's competencies in the administrative sense.

The EpT can perform a "verification" of declarations, but it does not have access to fiscal or banking databases. Instead, it relies solely on publicly available free databases for its assessments. This limitation raises questions about the effectiveness and thoroughness of the audit process, as it cannot leverage comprehensive data for its evaluations.
