1 Part 1 Implications of the Legislative Framework for Oversight Institutions

This part of Oversight, toolkit for political finance institutions, includes information about areas of political finance regulation. Since the toolkit focuses on the implementation of regulations, the main focus of this section is on the relevance and implications of different regulations for those working in public oversight institutions. It is not an exhaustive review of all issues that need to be considered when creating regulations on political party and campaign finance. You can find more information about such issues for example in the ACE project Encyclopaedia and in the International IDEA Handbook on Funding of Political Parties and Election Campaigns.
