Centralized oversight denotes the supervisory function performed by a singular entity over a particular domain or set of activities. This mechanism involves a single body establishing standards, monitoring adherence, and enforcing rules. It represents a top-down control structure for operations, aiming to ensure consistency and compliance across the system.
