Defining and contextualising regulatory oversight and co-ordination
This paper aims to support better-targeted and more homogeneous data collection and
comparative analysis of regulatory oversight bodies (ROBs). To do so, it builds on
relevant academic literature and available data to sharpen the definition of ROB used
in OECD analytical work and policy discussions. It also discusses ROBs’ role within
the regulatory governance cycle as well as various aspects related to regulatory oversight
and co-ordination, with special attention to the overall institutional setting (including
the relationships between various ROBs), context and objectives of regulatory reform,
tasks and responsibilities, and associated accountability arrangements.
