Because ACAs assume a “watchdog” role over public financial management and tend to blame and shame other institutions and individuals for mismanagement and corruption, they must meet the highest standards in procurement and finance actions. Adequate rules and procedures for procurement and financial transactions should be observed and monitored. An independent review, for example by the Supreme Audit Institution, can also validate the ACA’s books and performance.
