About usCorruption is pricey to Brazilians. This fact, which at first seems

obvious, was confirmed by a study of the Federation Industries of São Paulo (FIESP): about 3% of GDP is diverted and sidetracked from the public treasury, which represents

around R$ 100 billion a year.

So, in a general picture, million reais have been saved in public

coffers from the 80 Brazilian cities where the Observatories are pres-ent and currently, more than thou-sand volunteers from various fields and professions, are part of them.

In conclusion, the Observatorio Social de São José (OSSJ), is a non- govermental and non-profit entity, declared as Municipal and

State Public Utility, which develops social control actions of public

expenditure of the Municipal Gov-ernment of the city of São José.

Objectives

directly the application of public funds.
