oversight boards
Accountability monitoring committees
Oversight boards are committees established to monitor, review, or regulate the activities of an organization or institution.
They provide independent scrutiny of decisions, policies, or conduct: The civilian oversight board investigates complaints against police.
Such boards appear in government, corporate governance, and increasingly in technology, where platforms like Facebook have created oversight boards to review content moderation decisions.
