TCU authorises audit of Brazil health ministry’s gambling harm measures
Brazil’s Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) authorised an audit on 28 May 2025 of the Health Ministry’s work to prevent and treat sports betting addiction. The review will assess the government’s action plan, awareness campaigns and treatment capacity; the TCU said it made no direct recommendations to the ministry at this stage.
The audit may inform oversight of government measures addressing gambling-related harm and treatment.
