Spanish term

la Dirección Nacional de Fiscalización

Spanish to English Social Sciences Government / Politics
This is the name of a public office in Argentina.

Este fortalecimiento institucional también incluyó la creación, en 2005, de la Subsecretaría de Fiscalización del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social y la Dirección Nacional de Fiscalización, las cuales trabajan en forma conjunta con la Dirección Nacional de Relaciones Federales (encargada de articular y coordinar las acciones inspectivas desarrolladas por las dependencias del MTEySS en el interior del país

Selected

National Oversight Directorate/Bureau OR: National Bureau of Inspection

In your context, given the definition, I believe that "Fiscalización" refers to inspection and oversight, not taxation.
Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : Yes. "Inspection" would work better for the UK, by the way. (Not "accountability": the GAO keeps an eye on how government spends taxpayer dollars: not the same thing at all.)

National Overseeing Bureau

Ya que nací en Córdoba (Argentina), estoy familiarizado con la terminología de estas dependencias del gobierno. Por ejemplo, AFIP desciende de la DGI (Dirección General de Impuestos). Lo que falta en el contexto dado, Wendy, es la descripción de lo que hace esta dirección nacional de fiscalización: ¿qué regula o fiscaliza? No está completamente claro, por eso me decidí por una traducción medio neutra. ¡Saludos!

National Supervision/Inspection Directorate

we can really suggest anything plausible here as somebody has to translate these newly created bodies into an acceptable form for the English-speaking community

that being said, "fiscalización" is a buzz word in Argentina and has nothing to do with taxes and a lot to do with supervision/inspection/checking/control (somebody came up with this over the last few years and now it appears on road signs and you name it)

National (Employment) Standards Agency

If this is what it appears to be looking at the link below:
http://www.trabajo.gob.ar/inspeccion/metodologia/
then it appears to be a standards enforcement agency.

I'd say "employment standards agency/bureau/office" conveys the fact that it is an office actively looking to inspect and check whether employer's are complying with standards regarding the workplace, hiring and welfare contributions.

Of course, if this is not the case, and you don't know what function it has, then the other options above are probably more suitable given their neutrality.
