INAC debts amounted to 7.8 million euros in 2012 – Express

The “poor coordination” between the department of financial resources and the legal office of the former National Institute of Civil Aviation (INAC) created a system “ineffective” credit recovery, the report of the financial audit made to INAC by Court of Auditors on the management of 2012. At the end of this year, INAC debts amounted to 7.8 million euros, and in almost all resulting from paid fees and not charged, 60% of which originated in the rate of security.

Some of these debts are related to undertakings which have failed or ceased to have activity, which were never charged. The efficiency of collection of fees, fines and other penalties to civil aviation companies is key to INAC – recently converted to ANAC – National Civil Aviation Authority, now chaired by Luís Ribeiro – given that, according to the Court of Auditors, funding from INAC originates exclusively on own resources, in the fees, fines and other penalties had a weight of 97.5% to 98.7% in the 2010-2012 period.

The Court of Auditors It states that at the end of 2012, there were 42% of debt security fee and other fees in the amount of 3.25 million euros, “considered doubtful, with 96% of this amount accrued.”

On the other hand, the court considers that “contrary to what is reflected in the year-end balance sheets, debt of financial institutions to INAC, amounting to 17,070 euros, there is no”, explaining that “the adversarial exercise, INAC said it would carry out this correction. “

The Court of Auditors considers that observed” poor coordination between the department of financial resources and the legal office in the credit recovery initiatives being ineffective the system used by the department to control the sending of communications to users-customers for the credit recovery. “

He says even the court that” there are bad debts that remain recorded as assets, not proceeding INAC the assumption of costs in the face of evidence of uncollectible amounts. ” In addition, “there was the possibility of issuing guides INAC-invoices on decisions in administrative offense processes and these coexist in the system tabbed voluntary payment of fines previously issued in respect of the same process,” added the audit.

In 2012, INAC “moved three accounts in commercial banks and five accounts in IGCP, having not met the state treasury system,” says the audit, considering that “non-compliance with this regime is likely to generate any financial responsibility penalty. “

” Despite the steps taken, INAC has not completed an inventory of its properties, “says the audit, specifying that” neither prepared the property listings that constitute its property and, consequently, not undergone the approval of the guardianship, for the matrix and registral regularization of properties in default situation or incorrect inscription or description “.

In this regard, the Court of Auditors recommended that the current ANAC complies with the principle of treasury unit using, throughout the movement of funds, “the banking services provided by IGCP.”

The Administrator shall prepare the property listings that constitute its property and submit them to approval of tulela, procendendo the matrix regularization of real estate and inventory their properties ensuring the knowledge of their nature, use and value.

The FAA will still have to “count as extraordinary costs and losses, debts where there is evidence of their collectability “and” ensure the effective recovery of loans, eliminate the coexistence in the system of voluntary payment of fines guides with invoices for fines and resulting expense of sentencing deliberations, “recommends the court.
