Introduction

This training course equips participants with an in-depth understanding of judicial review and regulatory accountability within public administration. It explores how courts, tribunals, and oversight bodies ensure legality, transparency, and fairness in government decision-making.

The program covers fundamental principles of administrative law, including legality, natural justice, procedural fairness, and the scope of discretion. Participants will learn how these principles are applied in reviewing government and regulatory decisions to protect public interest.

Through practical case studies and interactive exercises, participants gain insights into the mechanisms for challenging administrative decisions, ensuring compliance with statutory obligations, and upholding governance standards in diverse sectors.

The course also addresses regulatory accountability frameworks, including compliance monitoring, reporting standards, and internal governance controls. Participants will understand how institutions maintain transparency, mitigate risks, and enhance public trust.

Emerging topics such as digital governance, e-regulation, and accountability in the context of modern regulatory frameworks are integrated into the curriculum. Participants will explore how technology and data analytics can strengthen oversight and decision-making.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to analyze administrative actions, identify legal and regulatory risks, and apply judicial review principles effectively to promote transparency, integrity, and accountable governance.
