The register of fiscally liable persons

The Contraloría General de la República keeps the Boletín de Responsables Fiscales, created by article 60 of Ley 610 de 2000 and run in the SIBOR system. Being listed there is not a criminal or a disciplinary record: it means a fiscal liability proceeding ended in a final ruling holding the person responsible for damage to public assets, and that the debt has not been settled. While that stands, the person cannot contract with the State or hold public office. The lookup returns the verdict, the verbatim sentence the source certifies with, the certificate's verification code and the date and time it was issued.

  • Not listed

    The source certifies that the person is not reported as fiscally liable.

  • Listed

    The person appears in the register of fiscally liable persons, with the exact text the Contraloría issues.

  • Verification code

    Every answer carries the certificate's code and date, so it can be checked against the source later.

Common questions

What does being listed as fiscally liable mean?
That a fiscal liability proceeding ended in a final ruling holding the person responsible for damage to public assets, and that the debt remains unpaid. While they are in the register they cannot contract with the State or hold public office (Ley 610 de 2000, article 60). It is not a criminal record, which the Policía keeps, nor a disciplinary one, which the Procuraduría keeps, nor a debt in the Contaduría's bulletin.
What is the verification code for?
It is the code the Contraloría uses to identify the certificate issued for that lookup, and it comes with the exact date and time. It lets you check the result against the source later, and it leaves an auditable trace of which document was checked and when, which is exactly what a due diligence file needs.
Is this the official certificate? How current is it?
The lookup goes to the source at that moment and returns what the source answers, but as structured data rather than the document the Contraloría hands over. The register is also fed in cycles, so a recent payment or update can take time to show. For a formal procedure, use the certificate the Contraloría issues.
Can it be used for hiring or for contracting with the State?
It is useful for checking before you commit: if the person is in the register, the disqualification is real and the process falls apart. The formal file attaches the Contraloría certificate, alongside the Procuraduría's and the Policía's, and handling the data you look up falls under Colombia's habeas data law (Ley 1581 de 2012).
