The Authority has the power to review work methods and procedures to protect integrity and bolster transparency. It can specify points of weakness that could lead to violations and crimes of corruption and propose means to develop and modernize procedures and mechanisms to fortify against the crimes.

The Authority has the power to demand records, documents, information and data from concerned parties to probe corruption claims.
