Book excerpt: The Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (the Results Act) seeks to strengthen federal decision-making and accountability by focusing on the results of federal activities and spending. A key expectation is that the Congress will gain a clearer understanding of what is being achieved in relation to what is being spent To accomplish this, the act requires that, beginning for fiscal year 1999, agencies prepare annual performance plans containing annual performance goals covering the program activities in agencies' budget requests. In addition, Office of Management and Budget (0MB) guidance states that agency performance plans should display, by program activity the funding level being applied to achieve performance goals. Plans that meet these expectations can provide the Congress with useful information on the performance consequences of budget decisions. Our assessment of fiscal year 1999 performance plans found that agencies generally covered the program activities in their budgets, but most plans did not identify how the funding for those program activities would be 2 allocated to performance goals. To enhance the Congress' understanding of issues that may affect agencies' abilities to relate budgetary resources and results, you requested that we review selected fiscal year 1999 performance plans to (1) describe agencies' approaches to linking performance goals and budgetary resources, (2) examine characteristics that might be associated with different approaches to linking performance goals and budgetary resources, and (3) identify implications for future efforts to clarify the relationship between budgetary resources and results. More clearly describing and analyzing the approaches agencies developed to link funding requests with performance expectations can be an important foundation as the Congress reviews agencies' fiscal year 2000 performance plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward Next-Generation Performance Budgeting: Lessons from the Experiences of Seven Reforming Countries analyzes the difficulties that national governments have had in linking measurement of performance and results to the annual budget process. The book is based on intensive reviews of four advanced countries that were early reformers and three pioneers in Central and Eastern Europe. In addition to looking at their current systems, Toward Next-Generation Performance Budgeting looks at how their approaches have evolved over time. This book attempts to fill a gap between survey-based self-assessments and best-practice guides. It was compiled in response to the concerns of budget departments in countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, many of which are committed to adopting some form of performance-based budgeting and are seeking to learn from the experiences of previous reformers what the practical challenges are and how they can adapt best-practice approaches to a messy reality. The case studies demonstrate a general pattern of disappointment with the results of performance budgeting, balanced by a strong belief in the underlying logic, which has resulted in repeated efforts to modify approaches to tighten the links between budgeting and performance. These efforts have resulted in significant variation in how countries have implemented performance budgeting and in the benefits they have derived. These variations offer guidance for models of next-generation performance budgeting, avoiding classic pitfalls, and incorporating modifications introduced by those who have used it longest and found it useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report updates GAO's previous assessments of agencies' experiences in linking performance plans and budgets under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). GAO has also included in this report an initial assessment of the approaches used by agencies to link performance plans with their audited annual financial statements. Over the first four years of agency efforts to implement GPRA, GAO observed that agencies continue to tighten the required linkage between their performance plans and budget requests. Of the agencies GAO reviewed over this period, all but three met the basic requirement of the act to define a linkage between their performance plans and the program activities in their budget requests, and most of the agencies in GAO's review had moved beyond this basic requirement to indicate some level of funding associated with expected performance described in the plan. More importantly, more agencies each year--almost 75 percent in fiscal year 2002 compared to 40 percent in fiscal year 1999--were able to show a direct link between expected performance and requested program activity funding levels--the first step in defining the performance consequences of budgetary decisions. However, GAO has also observed that the nature of these linkages varies considerably. Most of the agencies in GAO's review associated funding requests with higher, more general levels of expected performance, rather than the more detailed "performance goals or sets of performance goals" suggested in the Office of Management and Budget guidance. Similarly, agencies' initial efforts to link performance plans to their statements of net cost are encouraging and improving, but some presentations were more informative than others. However, various approaches were used to present this information, ranging from broad linkages of overall agency costs to general goals to more specific descriptions of component organization costs by strategic objective.
