The Ministry of the Commonwealth (COSMOCOM) holds the apparatus of the federal state itself. It sets the standards that every ministry and parliament works to, trains and inspects the civil service, conducts elections and keeps the register of chartered bodies. Responsibilities include:
- Establishing and auditing professional qualifications and accreditation in line with Commonwealth standards
- Developing and enforcing standards in technical, industrial and administrative functions of the federal government
- Registering the charters of municipalities, corporations and state enterprises, and winding up failed firms
- Training and maintaining the civil service workforce through the Commonwealth School of Public Service
- Inspecting and auditing the ministries through the Federal Inspectorate
- Administering elections, referendums and the Commonwealth electoral roll
- Keeping the treaties of accession of the republics
- Conducting policy research for the Mandatory Ecclesia and State Secretaries
The ministry’s responsibilities go both ways with the Commonwealth Parliaments – COSMOCOM ensures domestic compliance with Commonwealth policy and also advises parliamentary standards. The ministry also coordinates SIRO, which administers the Commonwealth’s research establishments, though individual establishments are funded and directed by their relevant ministries. The Ministry of the Commonwealth is led by its First Minister, elected from within by professional staff.
