هيئة الرقابة الإدارية
Administrative Control Authority (ACA)


Explanation:
This appears to be the general translation used in English:
http://www.icac.org.hk/newsl/issue12eng/button4.htm

Administrative Control Authority
Egypt

The control process was first established in 1958 as a section within the structure of the Administrative Prosecutor. In 1964 this developed into an independent control organization, known as the ACA, reporting directly to the Prime Minster.

Administrative Control Authority

http://www.sis.gov.eg/online\html7\o160622.htm
Justice Hind Tantawi is the first woman to head the Administrative Control Authority, a top post that has hitherto been occupied by men, the paper said. Hind said that she owed her success to her mother, who was both a close friend and mentor.
(This is from a government website so I suppose that that is official a translation as you can get).

The UN POGAR website also uses this translation so this must be, more or less, the official one:
