Superintendency of companies was empowered to inspect foreign non-profit entities

By means of a decree issued by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, non-profit entities (ESALES ), domiciled abroad, which carry out permanent operations in Colombia, were subject to inspection, surveillance, and control of the Superintendency of Companies. The measure seeks to ensure that the income of these entities complies with the purpose defined by their founders, by preserving and using it in accordance with the defined purpose.

Within the basis of the regulation is a concept of the Chamber of Consultation and Civil Service of the Council of State, in which a regulatory vacuum caused by the repeal of the regulation that expressly granted the power of inspection, surveillance and control over the ESALES to the Superintendency of Companies was evidenced. Consequently, the responsibility remained exclusively in the hands of the President of the Republic, by mandate of the Constitution, with the possibility of delegating such powers.

The decree did not provide specific guidelines on the procedure applicable to the exercise of these Powers. Therefore, it Will be subject to the general faculties attributed in previous regulations to the Superintendency of companies.
