Supreme Audit Office

A thinly-veiled threat of an academic Government inspectorate resulted in more open, external audit of performance in teaching and research.

A natural spring was a closely guarded resource on a world like Cardassia Prime, where even the energy cost to replicate something as simple as potable water was rationed by the government inspectorate.

The enforcement of this legislation was put into the hands of a central government inspectorate, the first of a number of such inspect orates to be set up in the nineteenth century and to operate, according to Roberts, as an important source of pressure for further social reform.
