The Court of Accounts of the State of Rondônia (TCE-RO) has initiated a Special Account Audit to investigate potential irregularities within a contract held by the State Department of Highways and Transport (DER-RO). The investigation centers on the machining and transport of asphalt concrete, with estimated potential damages of approximately R$ 8.6 million.

A significant portion of the inquiry involves a payment of R$ 8,310,690.00 that lacks the documentation necessary to verify the actual weight of supplied materials. Although expert reports suggest physical services were performed, the absence of reliable weighing records prevents confirmation of whether the quantity of asphalt used matches the amounts billed. Furthermore, the audit is examining a possible failure to withhold and collect R$ 290,874.15 in Service Tax (ISSQN).
