Meaning and Usage

Common Contexts

It is frequently used in government, corporate, or institutional settings where there is a need to oversee activities, finances, or safety. For example, government agencies may have 监察 departments to monitor public funds, or companies may have internal 监察 teams to ensure employees follow regulations.
