Hi Folks,

If her superiors were angry with her because she didn´t find a way or a solution to at least try to stop the delays,if it was her job to do so but for some reason they decide that she´s being inefficient and making wrong decisions, I believe that "explain" could be an option.

i'm feeling the most inefficient person in the world!!!

Yes, explain is a good option.

May I get back to the “perante”?

“A” is the accountant of the company, but the responsible perante a Receita Federal is “B”.
Any suggestions?

Olá Flávia,

Para complementar,existe "before" para "perante" com o sentido de "na presença de alguém ouvindo,observando,etc e sendo formalmente examinado,considerado,etc. por este alguém.

Ex:The men appeared before the judge yesterday.(Cambridge.)

Boa sorte!

Just complementing... I found a quick video where you can see the word "before" being used the way you just described:
