Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to present the government-employee incentive program as a method by which government deficits can be reduced or eliminated, and government surpluses can be generated. Section 2 deals with the nature of the incentive plan, section 3 deals with the incentive chain in relationship to the plan, section 4 makes some remarks concerning the incentive program, and section 5 deals with statistics gathering under the incentive program. Section 6 makes some concluding remarks. The analysis begins by holding real appropriations constant. Government employees are given, in the form of additional income, a stated percent of the total amount saved out of initial appropriations. Each employee, in each incentive unit, receives an amount equal to the proportion that his/her salary represents of total salaries paid for that incentive unit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transparency in government operations is widely regarded as an important precondition for macroeconomic fiscal sustainability, good governance, and overall fiscal rectitude. Notably, the Interim Committee, at its April and September 1996 meetings, stressed the need for greater fiscal transparency. Prompted by these concerns, this paper represents a first attempt to address many of the aspects of transparency in government operations. It provides an overview of major issues in fiscal transparency and examines the IMF's role in promoting transparency in government operations.
Download or read book Human Capital written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government uses incentive awards and quality step increases (QSI) to encourage employees to improve their work performance and, consequently, government operations, by recognizing work exceeding normal performance requirements. A questionnaire sent to federal employees revealed that many felt unmotivated by their agencies' incentive programs and believed that the workers most deserving of cash awards were often passed over. Other comments identified the failure of awards programs to increase productivity and the feeling that improvements in efficiency were not recognized with awards. An analysis of incentive awards programs revealed that some workers receiving awards were rated as below-average performers. These problems exist because agency programs overlook the following basic components: linkage to agency goals, systems for setting work expectations and measuring performance, motivation of managers to use awards programs, timely and relevant awards separated from the basic salary rate, and an annual evaluation of program results. Most employees questioned believed that an improved incentives system would improve their performance. In most agencies surveyed, GAO found an excessive use of the QSI as the most commonly granted form of cash recognition, rather than the generally preferable promotion. The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 helps associate incentive awards and employee performance, although the Act provides only the framework for change; the responsibility for accomplishment lies with supervisors and managers.

Download or read book The Federal Employee Suggestion System written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Incentive Awards Program's objective is to encourage civilian employees to contribute to the efficiency, economy, or other areas of government operations by recognizing and rewarding them for exceptionally meritorious achievements or suggestions. The full benefits of an effective employee suggestion system are not being realized by federal agencies. Pronounced support of a suggestion system alone does not guarantee its effectiveness. Many managers and employees lack enthusiasm for the system, and relatively few employees contribute suggestions. Persistent problems prevail because no single office with the authority to act has directed agencies to aggressively implement the system.

Fiscal Affairs Dept. and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government compensation and employment policies are important for the efficient delivery of public services which are crucial for the functioning of economies and the general prosperity of societies. On average, spending on the wage bill absorbs around one-fifth of total spending. Cross-country variation in wage spending reflects, in part, national choices about the government’s role in priority sectors, as well as variations in the level of economic development and resource constraints.
Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.

This book was released on 2019-03-24 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Policymakers and program managers are continually seeking ways to improve accountability in achieving an entity's mission. A key factor in improving accountability in achieving an entity's mission is to implement an effective internal control system. An effective internal control system helps an entity adapt to shifting environments, evolving demands, changing risks, and new priorities. As programs change and entities strive to improve operational processes and implement new technology, management continually evaluates its internal control system so that it is effective and updated when necessary. Section 3512 (c) and (d) of Title 31 of the United States Code (commonly known as the Federal Managers? Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA)) requires the Comptroller General to issue standards for internal control in the federal government.
