Criticisms of the metric
- The Union's DCA is only in the API from 2014, so earlier governments have no series. Spending by function includes transfers to states and municipalities and shifts when a budget action is reclassified to another function. Unpaid carry-overs (restos a pagar) defer payment to the next year, so 'paid' and 'committed' for a year can diverge without a cut. The IPCA does not measure the specific cost of universities and schools.
- It shows neither authorized appropriation nor withholding: a block reversed within the year does not show.
