agency oversight

Agency oversight refers to the process by which governmental bodies monitor and evaluate the actions and performance of agencies, ensuring they operate effectively and within legal boundaries. This oversight aims to maintain accountability, transparency, and efficiency in public services. It involves reviewing policies, budgets, and outcomes to ensure that agencies fulfill their responsibilities and serve the public interest. Oversight can be conducted by elected officials, independent watchdogs, or audits, ensuring that agencies are held responsible for their actions and that they utilize taxpayer funds appropriately.
