The correct answers are A) Independent agencies audit executive departments and make recommendations for improvement. B) Congress investigates how the funds are being used at the Department of Homeland Security. C) A journalist obtains records from the Department of Defense with the Freedom of Information Act.
Those are the three sentences that describe some means of bureaucratic oversight.
The United States bureaucracy is the different offices from the cabinet of the executive branch that manages the public resources and implement the policies of the federal government.
We are talking about departments and agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Defense, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Interior, the Department of State, the US Agency for Internal Development, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and many others.
These departments need supervision and oversight so federal employees can be efficient with the resources they manage and efficiently delivering results. Corruption in the federal government is not accepted. As simple as that.
