The Comptroller General of the Union (Portuguese: Controladoria-Geral da União, abbreviated CGU), was a branch of the Brazilian federal government tasked with assisting the president regarding the treasury and public assets and the government's transparency policies. These tasks were carried out by way of public audits, fraud deterrence procedures, and other sort of internal control, corruption prevention, and ombudsman activities. It was also the central body of the Federal Government Internal Control System, responsible for supervising, managing, and regulating the offices of the government.
