oversight mechanisms

Oversight mechanisms are processes or systems designed to monitor and evaluate the actions and decisions of organizations, government bodies, or individuals. They ensure accountability, transparency, and adherence to laws and regulations. Common examples include audits, regulatory reviews, and independent oversight committees. These mechanisms help prevent misconduct, corruption, and inefficiency by providing checks and balances. Ultimately, they aim to protect public interests and promote ethical practices by allowing stakeholders, such as the public or shareholders, to hold entities accountable for their conduct.
