1. Introduction
This chapter presents the results of the General Audit conducted by the PTP,
and coordinated by FGV EBAPE and the CTS at FGV DIREITO RIO. The results are
shown in two formats: stacked Venn diagrams and timeline graphs.
The stacked Venn diagrams summarize the following information:
Number of submitted requests;
Number and percentage of requests which received a response (response rate);
Number and percentage of requests which received accurate responses (accu-
racy rate).
The timeline graphs summarize the average number of days it took to receive a
response from a particular entity. In order to facilitate comparison, these graphs also
include information on the response rate of the respective entity, since receiving quick
responses does not mean much if the majority of requests are not answered at all.
2. Aggregate analysis
The General Audit consisted of 453 Freedom of Information (FOI) requests sub-
mitted to the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government in the states
of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro, as well as their respective capitals, in
addition to the Federal District and the federal government.
As shown in Figure 1, the overall response rate of the General Audit was 69%.
This means that 31% of requests were not even acknowledged by the assessed entities.
