碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 國家發展研究所 === 97 === The Control Yuan is the supreme supervision agency in the country, exercising the powers of censure, impeachment and audit. The purpose of proposing corrective measures is to force administrative agencies focusing on the matters and making appropriate improvements. However, the case numbers of proposing corrective measures are much larger than those of impeachment in practice. Is this a reasonable phenomenon or just a main function of control powers? Moreover, the cases of corrective measures against local governments are more than those against central (provincial) governments. How is the performance of corrective measures? What is their influence on self-government matters and commissioned matters of local governments? This study reviews the academic opinions and case studies on whether or not the Control Yuan may propose corrective measures to local governments. It also discusses the influence of corrective measures on commissioned matters and self-government matters of local governments according to related articles of the Constitution, the Control Act and the Local Government Act. The study is aiming at promoting sound local self-government by evaluating the performance of proposing corrective measures, the applicability of targets corrected and the interaction with other supervision authorities. It further identifies similarities and dissimilarities between correction power of Control Yuan and functions of western ombudsman. In addition, the study also compares advantages and disadvantages of the above two functions and points out the effect of correction power on self-government matters and commissioned matters. It then concludes by study results and reviews for future reference.
