The President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) is an entity within the Executive Office of the President formed to assess the quality, quantity and adequacy of intelligence collection, analysis, counterintelligence and other activities of the intelligence community (IC). The PFIAB reports directly to the president, and provides recommendations for actions to improve and enhance the performance of intelligence efforts. It also examines issues raised by the president or the director of national intelligence (DNI) and can make recommendations directly to the DNI. Membership of the PFIAB consists of not more that 16 people appointed by the president.

The Intelligence Oversight Board (IOB): Once a separate organization under the president, the IOB was made a standing committee of the PFIAB in 1993.

The IOB conducts independent oversight investigations as required and reviews the oversight practices and procedures of the inspectors general and general counsels of intelligence agencies.
