The Anti-Corruption Bureau (Oficina Anticorrupcion, OA) is a division of the Argentine federal government. Its task is to audit the country's public sector and to introduce public policies aimed at preventing political corruption. It is formally a decentralized agency that reports to the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. The bureau was created in 1999 as part of the first measures of President Fernando de la Rua. It is led by the Secretary of Public Ethics, Transparency and the Fight against Corruption, a post held by Felix Crous since 2019. The bureau is an example of a national integrity and oversight body that sits inside the executive branch of a federal state rather than operating as an independent court or police force.
