Abstract

The General Accounting Office of the Indies, an office created in 1751, was challenged by the Council of the Indies. The political meaning given by the actors, favorable or hostile, is analyzed, relating it to the other governing bodies of the Royal Treasury. The new office has a relative success when, since the late 1760s, it participates in the direction of the reforms in Spanish America. This success is not only due to a secular tendency to consolidate the "vía reservada" of the Secretary at Spanish America: precisely at that time, this Secretary has an ambivalent policy. That is why the political action and the projects of the actors are studied.
