Angola's fiscal transparency framework is anchored in the Constitution of Angola (5 February 2010) Arts. 101-104 and operationalized through Lei n.o 15/10 (SIGFE/LOLF), TCA Lei n.o 13/2010 (Tribunal de Contas organic law), and Lei n.o 41/20 (Public Contracts, 2020). The TCA President and ALL judges are appointed by the President of the Republic under Art. 119(8) -- the most structurally compromised SAI appointment model in the batch (auditor_selection='appointed_executive'; no parliamentary check). The Audit Report is classified as 'Internal Use Only' (OBS 2021): statute = True (TCA Law 13/2010 + Art. 104); de facto practice score = 0. Both PEFA assessments (2016 draft, 2022 final) are non-public. Oil-opacity is the defining structural constraint: Sonangol quasi-fiscal operations, FSDEA sovereign wealth fund (Presidential Decree 48/12; off-budget), and legal restrictions on petroleum contract publication depress actual fiscal transparency well below statutory. EITI validation June 2025: 63.5/100 (fairly low). RTI law 2002 (75/150, rank 89th) confirmed as not properly implemented (0/8 sanctions; no independent commissioner). OBS 2021 T=30/100 (rank 94/120; trajectory 25-30 dos Santos era). TI CPI 32/100 (rank 94/182; improving from high-20s). Score: 47 (weak band; cluster baseline; zero confirmed positive overrides -- primary portals mef.gov.ao and sncp.gov.ao ECONNREFUSED prevent confirmation of citizens budget and BO provisions).
