On December 2, 2013 I saw this flag on
RCN news channel where they interview the current Attorney General. The
flag is on the right, a white horizontal
background with a yellow/blue logo in the middle. I can't identify this flag and
my best guess is that it may be the flag of the General Auditorship of the
Republic, but when one looks closer to the logo, there are some differences which
does not allow to conclude that the spotted flag is the same as de General Auditorship of the Republic.

The CGN (Contaduría General de la Nación) (Nation's General Accounting)
purpose is to improve the quality of accounting information, having products and
services to enhance better finance management for the administrative
authorities, modernizing the processes of gathering data, also incorporating
international fiscal standards fro transparency pruposes and promoting
participation of all economic actors.

The CGN has its roots in the first political Consitution of Colombia, in 1821,
which created the Secretaría de Hacienda (Secretary of Treasury), today the
Ministry of Finance), and particularly by the Law of October 8, 821, which
established the functions of the Contaduría General de Hacienda (Treasury's
General Accounting) and ended in the more proper Law 36 of 1918 which
reorganized the Corte de Cuentas (Accounts Court) and set the rules for the
demise of both organizations.

(page 3)
The functions of the current CGN were for many decades carried out by the
Comptroller General of the Republic
until the new Constitution
of 1991, which in its Article 354 established the creation of the post
of Contador General de la Nación (Nation's General Accountant).

On February 20, 2020, DIAN announced a restructuring process which had been
going on for 18 months already, in an effort to modernize not only the entity
itself (IT, approach to taxpayers, legitimacy and accountability) but also its
institutional image, in which they also unveiled their new logo (which in turn
would be applied to its new flag). They also had a
public tv ad which was aired to in June 2020 to show the new logo version. In turn, the new logotype was
officially adopted through Resolución No. 83, August 4, 2020 in which a new "Manual Corporativo de
Marca" (Brand Corporate Manual) is officially adopted (https://www.dian.gov.co/normatividad).
The new trademark received official registration from the SIC through Resolución
No. 12784, April 2, 2020. The
previous visual identity guidelines were adopted through Resolución No. 4167,
May 24, 2013 (https://www.dian.gov.co) called "Manual de Identidad Visual Institucional de la Dirección de
Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales DIAN" (Institutional Visual Identity
Manual of the Directorate of National Taxes and Customs DIAN). The previous flag is derived from
the previous logo, adopted through Resolución No. 6450, February 20, 2012
in which the corporate
image manual was adopted, formally labeled as "Manual de identidad visual
institucional" (Institutional visual
identity manual).

The DGPAD (Dirección General de Prevención y Atención de Desastres) (General Directorate of Prevention and Attention of Disasters) evolved
from the
DPAD (Dirección de Prevención y Atención de Desastres) (Disaster
Prevention and Attention Directorate) which was established by Decree
No. 919 of 1989. Its predecessor was the ONPAD (Oficina Nacional para
la Prevención y Atención de Desastres) (National Office for the
Prevention and Attention of Disasters) which in turn was established
by Decree No. 46 of 1988.
The main background for this organization, were the three rather
consecutive disasters the country suffered: Tsunami in Tumaco (1979), and earthquake in Popayán (1983) and the
mudslide of the Armero Volcano (1985)
Thus by Decree No. 46 of 1988 the SINPAD (Sistema Nacional para la
Prevención y Atención de Desastres) (National System for the
Prevention and Attention of Disasters)
was created, as an integrated framework of cooperation between
National, Regional and
Local committies that work toghether in order to face any disaster
situation.
At the beggining, the ONPAD was an organization under the
Ministry of
Interior), and later it
was declared UAE (Unidad Administrativa Especial) (Special
Administrative Unit), like the Aerocivil, thus being called the
UAEPAD (Unidad Administrativa Especial para la Prevención y Atención
de Desastres), by Decree No. 0372 of February 26, 1996. Then by Decree
No. 2546 of December 23, 1999 it is changed into its current name,
DGPAD.
The DGPAD flag is on the right of this screenshot of tv news channel Caracol TV, taken on January 7, 2010.

significará la purificación del individuo por la pena. El color
rojo, tenido como expresión del amor a la libertad, recordará
que aquella se conquista por la acción del trabajo. El color

Flags of the General Prison Direction in Colombia (Dirección
General de Prisiones, known by their previous acronym: INPEC).
The flag for flying is 2 m. width by 3 m. long, and the
ceremonial flag is 1.10 m. width by 1.35 m. long, with the emblem
in the center. In the emblem, in the left side of the book
(dexter) is the following cite: "Con el estudio,
el trabajo y la disciplina romperás las cadenas del cautiverio,
porque el estudio eleva, el trabajo redime y la disciplina
libera". and around the legend says: "Ministerio de
Justicia y del Derecho - Instituto Nacional Penitenciario y
Carcelario" I don't know if this has changed, since
now the Ministry of Justice has merged with the Ministry of
Interior, and INPEC official name is Dirección Nacional de
Prisiones.
Carlos Thompson, 5 November 2004
INPEC stands for "Instituto Nacional Penitenciario y
Carcelario". It changed its name on5th of November, 2004.
However the abbreviation still stands even though the name
changed because people are more familiar with it.
It is not a police force. They are allowed to wear uniforms, use
weapons and have custody of all prisons but they are not an
organizational part of the Colombian Police, they are under the
the Minister of Interior and Justice.
Here is INPEC's coat of arms
from the book "Himnos y Símbolos de Nuestra Colombia"
, page 277. Written in 2000 by Julio Cesar García, edited by
Camer Editores. ISBN 958-33-1489-7.
