In an environment where the demand of governmental accountability grows in respect of attending the population needs and improving the social welfare, its expected from the federal universities, as public institutions, an attitude that maximizes the public resources allocation and the quality of academic services provided to society. Thus, the use of indicators is a worthy tool to support monitoring and transparency of public stewardship. This research analyzes the relationship between the brazilian federal universities expenses and the quality of teaching, research and extension activities in the period from 1998 to 2006. To achieve the proposed aim, sets of indicators were developed that reveal the quality of academic activities and how the universities spend the resources. With the developed indicators, 180 models was calculated for detecting relations between universities quality and expenses. In general, the research results show that universities responsible for higher current expenses presented poorer quality of teaching at graduate, postgraduate and research activities. Similarly, universities with higher infrastructure expenses had worse quality of outreach activity, although these expenditures show positive relation with graduate and research qualities. Also, there were some relationships between expenses of one year and the activities quality of the later periods.
