Cortes Federales Transparency Office
The Cortes Federales Transparency Office (CFTO) is an independent oversight body established by the Cortes Federales of Nouvelle Alexandrie in the aftermath of the Spring Crisis of 1739. Its primary mission is to investigate and prevent corruption, promote transparency in legislative operations, and enforce disclosure and accountability regulations within the federal legislature.
The office was officially created on 8.VIII.1739 AN as part of a broader package of democratic reforms passed in the wake of the attempted coup and widespread public distrust of government institutions. It operates independently from the executive branch and reports directly to the Speaker of the Federal Assembly and the Lord President of the Chamber of Peers.
Organization
The Office is led by the Inspector-General of Transparency, a non-partisan officer appointed by a two-thirds vote of the Cortes Federales for a renewable five-year term. The Office is divided into three main departments:
- Investigations Division
- Compliance and Training Division
- Public Disclosures and Records Division
