About GTF-PO

The focus of the GOPAC Global Task Force on Parliamentary oversight is on financial and operational integrity which includes:the on-going review of all government revenue and expenditures; and legislation and other parliamentary rules establishing government financial control practices, procedures to account for and report revenues and expenditures, as well as procedures and authorities for parliamentary oversight of financial administration. It also includes legislation and other rules which guide and enable parliament to oversee the implementation of the UN Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC).

Parliamentary oversight does not mean involvement in the operations of the Executive Branch and its use of public resources and powers granted to it by legislation and constitution. Oversight means the duty of parliamentarians to require the Executive Branch to follow the rules related to financial operations, and for the government to openly report to Parliament on its exercise of the powers and public resources granted.
