This competency project is an analysis paper focusing on oversight committees, audits, and special investigations. You will be examining how these types of oversight committees are formed, their rules and regulations, and the processes used to evaluate programs. Your analysis paper will also examine how the results of these types of oversight are used, as well as the factors that can influence both the scope of responsibilities and findings. These mechanisms can provide much needed oversight for program evaluation; however, the results can be skewed by political influence. This is the first of three competency projects in this course; it is due in Module Three.
