Book excerpt: In recent years, an understanding has emerged that the Federal government needs to be run in a more businesslike manner that in the past. The Federal government is accountable to the taxpayer, and taxpayers are demanding as never before that the dollars they invest in their government be managed and spent responsibly. Federal agencies often fail to appropriately manage their finances, identify clearly what they intend to accomplish, or get the job done effectively and with minimum of waste. Major statutes hold promise for creating a more accountable and effective Federal government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO published an executive guide on implementing the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). GAO noted that: (1) GPRA forces federal agencies to focus on their missions and goals, how to achieve them, and how to improve their structural organizations and business processes; (2) agencies must define their missions and desired outcomes, use strategic planning, involve stakeholders, assess their environments, and align their activities, core processes, and resources to support mission-related outcomes; (3) agencies need to measure their performance to ensure that they are meeting their goals and making informed decisions; (4) performance measures need to be based on program-related characteristics and performance data must be sufficiently complete, accurate, and consistent; (5) agencies must use performance data to improve organizational processes, identify performance gaps, and set improvement goals; and (6) GPRA success depends on strong leadership practices that devolve decisionmaking authority with accountability, create incentives, build expertise, and integrate management reforms.

Download or read book Government Performance written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government is the world's largest and most complex entity, with about $3.5 trillion in outlays in fiscal year 2010 that fund a broad array of programs and operations. GAO's long-term simulations of the federal budget show--absent policy change--growing deficits accumulating to an unsustainable increase in debt. While the spending side is driven by rising health care costs and demographics, other areas should also be scrutinized. In addition, there are significant performance and management challenges that the federal government needs to confront. GAO was asked to testify on how the provisions of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) could, if effectively implemented, help address these challenges. Our statement is based on our past and ongoing work on GPRA implementation, as well as our recently issued reports (1) identifying opportunities to reduce potential duplication in government programs, save tax dollars, and enhance revenue; and (2) updating our list of government operations at high risk due to their greater vulnerabilities to fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement, or the need for broad-based transformation. As required by GPRAMA, GAO will periodically evaluate implementation of the act and report to Congress on its findings and recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed six states' experiences in implementing management reforms and how their experiences could assist federal agencies in implementing the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). GAO found that: (1) federal agencies may be able to better implement GPRA and increase program effectiveness if they adopt results-oriented management reforms similar to those implemented by the six states; (2) federal agencies will need long-term commitment and cooperation between the executive and legislative branches to implement management reforms and mission-related program goals and performance measures to effectively implement GPRA; (3) the states' use of strategic planning has helped build consensus on statewide goals and has fostered interagency cooperation; (4) the states use a variety of performance measures to gauge agencies' progress in meeting strategic goals; (5) the states train their staff on how to use performance measures and involve them in the development process to effectively implement results-oriented reform; (6) the states have aligned their information, human resources, budgeting, and financial management systems to better support managers in their efforts to achieve statewide goals and to obtain stakeholders' agreement on strategic goals; (7) the states have provided program managers with progress reports, ways to assess staff achievement, and greater flexibility to meet program goals; and (8) although the effects of the management reforms could not be fully determined, the states remain committed to change.
