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.

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).

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.

La bandera estará compuesta por los colores blanco, rojo y
negro, distribuidos en tres franjas horizontales de iguales
dimensiones, de las cuales el blanco ocupará la superior, el
rojo la central y el negro la inferior. El color blanco
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
negro evocará la austeridad e indicará que el
perfeccionamiento del hombre y su superación se logran con base
en el esfuerzo y constante disciplina.

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 familair 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"

Camer Editores. ISBN 958-33-1489-7.

The Procuraduría General de la Nación represents the
citizens before the State. It currently has around 3,400
employees and its mission is to oversee the proceedures of the
State, abiding by the laws and the functions it has according to
the 1991 Political Constitution. Its main three goals are: 1.
Preventive function: this goal is directed towards
"alerting" instead of "punishing", watching
over government employees. 2. Intervention function: this is
oriented towards defending the rights on behalf of any Colombian
authority (religious, military, governmental, judiciary, police,
civil, agricultural or any other kind). 3. Disciplinary function:
this goal is focused on the sanctions carried out by violations
of one or multiple individuals who, in office, have carried out
improper activities as government officials.
The flag is the logo with the Colombian Coat of Arms (without the
motto) on white background.
E. R., 30 May and 25 August 2005
The Procuraduría General de la Nación (Advocate General of the Nation) has a variant official flag, which is the same horizontal background flag with the logo and the name of the entity, as seen in this picture:

This is the flag of Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil
(Civil State National Registry). Official website at <www.registraduria.gov.co>.
This government body is in charge of registring all civilians,
give them their ID's, pass laws regardig these subjects to
Congress, classify and file these information, and also manage
the Consejo Nacional Electoral (National Election Council,
abbreviated CNE, official website at <www.cne.gov.co>). At the
same time the CNE is in charge of all matters
related to the election process in Colombia. The flag of the
Registraduría (as it is commonly known), is a green over white
flag (internal ratio 1:1) , pretty much like the flag of the Department of La Guajira, but
the shade of green resembles more that of the flag of the Department of Antioquia, plus
the Coat of Arms on the center.

On August 6, 2008, in a news broadcast by local channel
RCN an
additional flag of the Civil State
National Registry was seen. The flag is the same as the one reported previously,
the only difference being that this variant has the name of the government
organization below the CoA, as "REGISTRADURIA" on black capital letters, and in
smaller capital letters "NACIONAL DEL ESTADO CIVIL" in black as well.
Esteban Rivera, 1 March 2011
There is one more difference, namely that the order of stripes. Flag reported
previously is green over white, but flag on attached
picture seems to be white over green.

Seguro (Social inssurance) refers surely to a social services
from the state, like health and pensions. Seems that this
hospital is collaborating with the department of Social
inssurance of Colombia
Jaume Ollé, 19 November 2003
The Instituto del Seguro Social is a governmental organization
for health care and pension. There are also some private
organizations but this one is public. I don't recall having
seen an actual flag, but I cannot deny it either.
Carlos Thompson, 20 November 2003
The flag is a white-green bicolour with an "S" logo
in the upper field and the name in the top of the lower field.

The
SINPAD (or SNPAD) (Sistema Nacional para la Prevención y Atención
de Desastres) (National System for the Prevention and Attention of
Disasters), established in 1988 was
adopted as the Plataforma Nacional (National Platform) for the
reduction of disaster risk, according to UNISDR (United Nations Office
for Disaster Risk Reduction) guidelines, before the conferencie
World
Conference on Disaster Reduction in Kobe in 2005. The
DGPAD is the
coordinating office for the implementation of the SNPAD and it
operates supported on two committees:
1. Comité Técnico Nacional (National Technical Committee), which are
the different committees and agencies (public, private and civilian)
within each Ministry, in charge of the prevention and handling of
disasters and there are also specific technical commissions (offices)
in charge of specific risks, such as the SIGPAD (Sistema Nacional de
Información para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres, National
Information System for the Management of Disasters Risk) (official
website), RSNC (Red Sismológica Nacional
de Colombia, Colombian National Seismic Network) (official website), SIRH (Sistema de Información del
Recurso Hídrico, Hidraulic Resource Information System (official

2. Comité Operativo Nacional (National Operational Committee), which
is executed by the
Defensa Civil.
The actions are coordinated through Comités Regionales (CREPAD's,

The SNPAD evolves into the SNGRD (Sistema Nacional de Gestión del
Riesgo de Desastres, Disaster Risk Management National System),
established by Law 1523 of April 24, 2012 and in turn, the
DGPAD evolves into
the UNGRD (Unidad Nacional para la Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres,
Disaster Risk Management National Unit) through Decree No. 4147 of
November 3, 2011). The SNIGRD (Sistema Nacional de Información para la
Gestión del Riesgo de Desastres, Disaster Risk Management National
Information System) is the actual materialization of all this
frameowrk of cooperation and coordination that the SNGRD comprises.

There's photographic evidence that two flags exist regarding this
topic (that is the SNGRD and the UNGRD), which suggests that the SNGRD
(which used to be called SNPAD) has also its own flag even though it
is not an organization per se, which features this
logo on a
blue horizontal flag, as seen in
this picture in which the
blue flag is seen, along with the
UNGRD flag (on the right).
