Control Yuan Wikipedia

The Control Yuan (監察院), one of five branches of the Republic of China government in Taipei, is a watchdog agency that monitors ("controls") the government. It may (retrospectively) be compared with the Court of Auditors of the European Union or the Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong, or a standing commission for administrative inquiry.

There is an ongoing debate about whether its main charge of scrutiny in government activities should be transferred to the Legislative Yuan, which is now the de facto parliamentarian organ in Taiwan.
