In theory that is why each agency has an office of inspector general. they are supposed to police abuse, fraud, and waste in these agencies. However however they still report to the head of that agency and ultimately the AG and president.

Not enough independence. Need an entity that reports to someone outside of the chain of command and has as much teeth as the executive.
