governmental oversight
State agency monitoring
Governmental oversight is the monitoring and supervision of government activities by designated bodies—legislative committees, inspectors general, or independent agencies.
The term implies accountability: ensuring public funds are spent properly, laws are followed, and power isn't abused.
The committee provides governmental oversight of intelligence agencies.
Oversight here means watchful supervision, not an inadvertent omission.
