oversight bodies

Oversight bodies are organizations or groups responsible for monitoring and evaluating the activities of other entities, such as government agencies, corporations, or institutions. Their role is to ensure these entities adhere to laws, regulations, and ethical standards, promoting transparency and accountability. By conducting audits, investigations, and reviews, oversight bodies help prevent misconduct, improve efficiency, and build public trust. Examples include government watchdog agencies, regulatory commissions, and internal compliance teams within organizations. Their ultimate goal is to safeguard public interests and ensure responsible governance.
