Résumé
Today, there exist more than 150 specialised anti-corruption agencies (ACAs). Although being praised as key contributors to suppressing high-level corruption, sometimes, they fail to produce tangible results. This is often contributed to weak mandate, which raises the question of responsibility of legislature. The nexus between parliaments and ACAs has been largely overlooked by the existing literature. This chapter develops a conceptual framework on the interaction between ACAs and parliaments, to help assessing the way parliaments exercise their legislative and oversight role in support of the effectiveness of ACAs. The authors use a variety of cases to illustrate how these criteria play out in the practice. This enables the authors to draw conclusions aimed at building a more constructive interaction between parliaments and ACAs which respects the independence of ACAs, enhances their accountability, and strengthens parliamentary follow-up to the work of ACAs.
