Caixa President Carlos Vieira said Thursday that the concern in the case involving financial invoices from Banco Master was to prove that the financial institution “has governance and governance takes place within the board of directors.”
The statement refers to the case that led to the dismissal of Igor Macedo Laino from the board of Caixa Asset for trying to approve the purchase of financial letters worth R$ 500 million from Master, last year, while omitting information about the risks of the bank of Daniel Forcaro – who in turn has been in prison since the beginning of last week.

The process that led to Laino losing his position was revealed by O Globo columnist Malu Gaspard. The journalist reported that Caixa’s top management fired two managers who were opposed to purchasing invoices. After the issue came to light, the Federal Court of Audit (TCU) requested clarifications from the bank.
“You have specific management of executives and you have overall management of the company,” Vieira said today when reporters asked him about the topic in an interview about the results release. “What is Caixa’s interest in this specific context? The goal was to reinforce and demonstrate that Caixa has governance and that governance takes place within the board.”
Vieira confirmed that TCU contacted the bank. “We have the answers and they are corporate seats within their larger management side. So, all precautions have been taken in this regard.”
According to the president of Caixa, TCU has made decisions regarding the “individual” in question who leaked an internal document called “tralha 30”. He himself said that he did not have access to this document. “Caixa’s transparency, organization, management and compass are greater than the president and director than any of us,” he said.
Vieira also spoke about the importance of listening to company employees. “I think the management process is also a dialectical process. I, who is CEO, have to listen to what the executives tell me,” he said. “Caixa corrected the entire context, from the Board of Directors to the CEO of the organization.”
