Parliamentary Control of the Administration (PCA​) 

The Parliamentary Control of the Administration (PCA) is the evaluation service of the Federal Assembly. It conducts scientific​ studies on behalf of the Control Committees (CC) on the legality, expediency and effectiveness of the activities of the federal authorities. When commissioned to do so, the PCA can also scrutinise the effectiveness of federal government measures on behalf of other parliamentary committees.

Recently finished evaluations

​The Federal Office for Transport (FOT) directs and oversees the planning and development of railway infrastructure projects in an efficient manner, but partially adequate. Specifically, the FOT does not ensure that budgeted costs are adhered to. Overall, cooperation between the FOT and the infrastructure managers (IMs) responsible for the expansion is expedient. The involvement of the cantons and communes is only partially adequate.​​​​​​ To the evaluation reports

Overall, the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) deals appropriately with Swiss honorary consulates abroad. The honorary consulates generally provide added value. The FDFA regards its responsibility towards foreign honorary consulates in Switzerland as very limited and takes a restrained approach in dealings with them.​​ To the evaluation reports
