Internal review occurs when a decision made by a member or officer of an agency is revised by:

• A. Another person within the same agency
• B. A court or tribunal
• C. A member of the public
• D. A different government department

Answer: (A)

Internal review is the process where a decision made by an agency is reconsidered by someone within the same agency, such as another officer or manager who did not participate in the original decision. This internal reassessment lets the agency double-check its own ruling for errors and ensure proper procedures were followed without involving external bodies. That’s why the option describing revision by another person within the same agency is the best fit. Other paths involve outside entities or different agencies—for example, a court or tribunal would be external review, a member of the public would be an outside challenge, and a different government department would involve another agency rather than the same one.
