Office of the Comptroller of the State of Minas Gerais

disagree  KevinWall: Sorry Jane, but I'm afraid this is the wrong context. Should be finance department"
58 mins
  -> I only like opinions from transparent sources, rather than anonymous ones. Sorry.

disagree  Michael Green: To me, this is the only answer that is definitely unacceptable. Comptroller is more of an auditing function; the "fazenda" exercises an executive function of managing the economy, etc.
7 hrs
  -> yes, I think my second answer is better: Treasury..I mean the department of treasury is ministerio da fazenda..so..i doubt it manages the economy...federally, it ministry of finance ie Treasury in the US..
