Brazilian Military Offset Focus
• NSD is the driver for new high-profile
programs, under MoD-issued guidelines for
Industrial Participation.
• Other government domains than defense
will be increasingly concerned on possible
benefits of industrial participation and
offsets, such as MoI&T, MRE, MTran, MME
and BNDES, specially for large national
projects such as high-speed rail
transportation and hydrocarbons offshore
prospection.

BAF Offset Agreements: Controls and Auditing
• Few years ago, the controlling was made exclusively by EMAER.
• Recently, this control was split between EMAER and SEFA.
– EMAER: strategic aspects of offset;
– SEFA: fulfillment of the offset credits and its balance.
• The Brazilian Court of Audit (TCU) has demonstrated some concerns
with a possible negligence on the fulfillment on offset credits.
• Additionally to the external control exercised by TCU, SEFA is in
charge of all activities related to Auditing inside the BAF realm.

Brazilian Offset Tendencies
• Brazil is moving from decentralized offset management
toward industrial participation using high profile
programs as drivers of the change.
• This implies a different approach to manage offset/IP on
Government procurements:
– Projects must be discussed at the early stages of program
lifecycles, given that effective industrial participation is in fact direct
and so set in the beginning for joint development and production to
succeed (the CMA issue).
– Industrial cooperation demands more institutional support
from the offset authority to the local industry, including
investments and continuous workload.
– Sound business plans are paramount.
