Oversight hearings

Oversight hearings are sessions conducted by legislative bodies, such as Congress, to review and assess the actions, policies, and expenditures of executive branch agencies or officials. These hearings allow lawmakers to gather information, ensure accountability, and evaluate if government programs are functioning effectively. During these sessions, officials may testify, and lawmakers can question them to understand operations or investigate issues. The aim is to uphold transparency, identify problems, and promote effective governance by monitoring how laws and policies are implemented.
