This dissertation seeks to examine how the Federal Public Administration (APF) can use the work of a Technical Accounting Support Committee (CATC) for bidding purposes, as a mechanism for Governance of Procurement. The descriptive, qualitative and case study approaches are based on the concepts of Public Governance, Institutional Theory and the available literature on risk management and procurement governance in the public sector, as well as the prerogative Of the General Law of Tenders. The factors that motivated the creation of CATC, describing the work carried out by CATC, were analyzed, analyzing the content of the notes evidenced in the Technical Opinions issued by CATC, using qualitative data analysis software ATLAS.ti® and examining the evidence statistics that characterize effectiveness in their developed works. The results show that the mitigation of the inherent risk of contracting or public acquisition, referring to the various possibilities of non-compliance of the object tendered, still in the selection phase of the supplier, is the form of contribution to the risk management of the acquisitions. Factors related to contractual breaches experienced by APF, mainly contracts related to engineering works and outsourcing, resulted in the creation of the CATC object of this study. The content of the opinions issued by the Commission shows the level of diligence carried out by the university, and it can be seen that the companies that have not been able to verify the existence of all the accounting balances presented by them. The results also showed that CATC's work has led to a decrease in the indicators presented by the bidders, characterizing that the companies did not prove all the assets and liabilities used as a basis for calculating the economic and financial indicators required in the events, resulting in the disqualification of these companies in the hiring process.
