The Court of Accounts of the State of Acre (TCE-AC) has taken several measures to regulate public spending and fiscal management within the state.

Initially, the court issued a precautionary decision suspending new appointments for commissioned positions and trust functions within the state executive branch. This action, prompted by a representation from Senator Alan Rick, was intended to curb personnel expenses that reportedly exceeded monthly limits by approximately R$ 2.4 million in August. The Acre State Government has contested this ruling, arguing that the calculations used by the court do not follow legal parameters.

Subsequently, the TCE-AC expanded its oversight by issuing fiscal warnings and notifications to various municipalities. These directives include determinations and recommendations regarding personnel expenses, public account balances, and mandatory minimum spending in health and education. For instance, in Cruzeiro do Sul, the court notified the mayor regarding violations of the Fiscal Responsibility Law, noting that personnel expenses had reportedly exceeded the 54% limit of Net Current Revenue.
