This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GPRA (the government performance and results act of 1993)is a central component of a statutory framework that Congress has put in place over the last decade to improve the performance, management, and accountability of the federal government. Other major elements of the framework include financial management reforms, such a the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act, and information resources management improvements, such as the Clinger-Cohen Act. Through this statutory framework, Congress has sought to improve the fiscal, program, and management performance of federal agencies, programs, and activities. The effective implementation of this statutory framework, although important, is not an end in itself. Rather, the implementation of the framework is the means to an end-improved federal performance through enhanced congressional and executive branch decisionmaking and oversight. Traditionally, the danger to any management reform is that it can become a hollow, paper-driven exercise where management improvement initiatives are not integrated into day-to-day activities of the organization. In short, performance improvements within an agency will not occur just because, for example, the agency has published a strategic plan or the results of an audit of its financial statements. Rather, performance improvements performance improvements occur only when congressional and executive branch decisionmakers use these and other documents-and the management systems that generate them-to help inform decisions and improve confidence in the accountability and performance of the federal government.

Book excerpt: The Government Performance and Results Act arose, in part, out of Congress' frustration that its policy and spending decisions and oversight had been handicapped by a lack of precise information on program goals, performance, and costs. Today, agencies must set multiyear strategic goals and corresponding annual goals, measure their performance, and report on their results. The implementation of the act is now at a critical point. By the end of March, agencies are to publish annual performance reports that, for the first time, will provide an overall picture of the performance of federal programs. The information becoming available as a result of the act also affords an opportunity to reexamine what government does, how it does it, and who benefits. In short, the act has the potential to ensure that the government delivers the results that the American people expect and deserve. The Comptroller General's testimony provides an overview of the act's implementation across the executive branch, discusses how the House of Representatives has used the act to improve program oversight and decisionmaking, and suggests ways to use the act to address some of the critical program and management issues confronting the government.

This book was released on 2009-09-08 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses whether, and to what extent, senior logistics executives use performance information when making logistics-related decisions. The research examines the performance management and measurement systems and processes within three major government organizations; determines what conditions, if any, affect logistics processes and how the organizations measure them; and explores whether senior officials use this information in their decisionmaking. Case studies were conducted on the United States Department of Defense (DOD), the United States Postal Service (USPS), and the United States Department of Energy (DOE). Based on 12 critical practices that the United Stated General Accounting Office has identified for federal agencies to use in assessing compliance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA), 28 evaluation factors were used to assess the use of performance information at four logistical levels within each agency.
