Presidential Offices are one of the institutions which have been newly added to our administrative organization system. With the Presidential Decree No. 1 which was published in the Official Gazette in 10.07.2018; 4 offices have been established: Digital Transformation Office, Human Resources Office, Investment Office and Finance Office. These offices were established under the Presidency and they have public legal personality. According to Article 123 of the 1982 Constitution, " The administration forms a whole with regard to its structure and functions, and shall be regulated by law." Therefore, the integrity of the administration is among the constitutional principles regarding the administration. The administration has two different tools to ensure this principle. These tools are "hierarchy" and " administrative tutelage ". While hierarchy refers to the subordinate to superior relationship within the same legal entity; Administrative tutelage describes the control and oversight authority of central government organizations over decentralization organizations. In this study, Presidential Offices in the administrative organization have been analyzed. It is aimed to define the legal relationship between the Presidency. In this context, various regulation proposals have been presented in order that these newly emerged structures do not contradict the principle of the integrity of the administration.
