Quality control of RIAs

Expert review of regulations and organisational structures to verify the existence of a central unit (or units), placed within the CoG or a line ministry, that provide(s) oversight and quality control for impact assessment. The quality assurance functions of this unit include setting the minimum standards and requirements for the quality of analysis and ensuring compliance with the minimum standards and requirements for impact assessments and their development process (including the right to return impact assessment reports for revision to the originating body when the quality of the report is inadequate). Analysis of five sample draft new laws with the comments provided by the unit(s) to identify whether they fulfil their responsibilities. The examples must be approved by the government during the year prior to the latest full calendar year (except those laws that approve or amend the state budget and ratify international agreements).
