independent office

An independent office refers to a government or organizational entity that operates autonomously to ensure accountability, oversight, or compliance. These offices are often established to be free from political influence and pressure, allowing them to function transparently and objectively. Examples include audit offices, ethics commissions, or watchdog agencies. Their role is to monitor activities, enforce laws, or provide services without interference, ensuring that actions taken by the government or organizations are fair, responsible, and in the public interest. This independence is crucial for maintaining trust and integrity in government and institutional operations.
