Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports. USAID should improve its capacity to measure its use of local systems and ensure adequate monitoring of its PFM programs. Treasury should implement additional controls to improve the process for computing program-wide annual performance measures and fully implement its requirement to evaluate the impact of its completed assistance. USAID and Treasury both concurred with GAO's recommendations.

Book excerpt: To develop programs to strengthen developing countries' Public Financial Management (PFM) systems, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) rely on assessments of the host country government's systems. In 2011, USAID implemented new processes that place a greater emphasis on PFM in its development efforts as the agency aims to increase its use of country systems to deliver assistance. The agency traditionally included PFM capacity-building efforts only as components of broader programs, as it identified relevant weaknesses during the country assessment or program design process. USAID's new strategy and program development processes include a mandatory assessment of a country's institutional capacity, including its financial systems, and a requirement to consider the use of country systems to deliver assistance. Most USAID country offices are required to develop a strategy using the new guidance by the end of fiscal year 2013. Treasury's process for developing programs begins with an initial assessment of the host country's capabilities. Treasury staff then draft objectives for the program. For example, a Treasury program in Honduras set four objectives, including improving operational efficiency and enhancing accountability by strengthening the organization of the ministry of finance. Once in country, the advisor develops an annual workplan, outlining more specific goals aimed at meeting the overall objectives.USAID and Treasury use several processes to monitor and evaluate their PFM assistance, but weaknesses exist. USAID uses its regular procedures, which may include performance management plans, periodic progress reporting, site visits, and evaluations, to monitor and evaluate its PFM-related programs. Prior reports by USAID's Inspector General and GAO have found weaknesses in USAID's implementation of its monitoring procedures in other programs, including programs from the USAID offices that provide PFM assistance. In addition, USAID is currently unable to monitor overall progress toward its target to obligate 30 percent of its program funds through local systems by 2015. USAID, and GAO in prior reports, have identified a number of weaknesses in evaluation practice. To address weaknesses the agency had identified, USAID adopted a new evaluation policy in January 2011 that states that all large projects are required to have an external evaluation, 3 percent of program budgets should be devoted to external evaluation, and evaluations must use methods that generate the highest quality evidence. Treasury's processes for monitoring and evaluating its programs include monthly reports, annual quantitative performance measures, voluntary customer feedback surveys, and on-site management reviews, but Treasury does not fully evaluate the performance of its completed technical assistance programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO reviewed efforts by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Department of the Treasury to improve the federal government's financial management operations. GAO found that: (1) due to the lack of a governmentwide financial management plan to help guide and control their efforts, agencies struggled in developing financial systems; (2) in April 1989, OMB began developing a governmentwide financial management improvement plan; (3) the Financial Management Service's (FMS) Federal Agency Financial Systems Program helped in furthering governmentwide improvements in financial management systems, but the program still needed improvements; (4) program officials believed that insufficient resources hindered their efforts to accomplish their objectives; (5) 2 years after the program's establishment, there were only eight program staff regulating the entire federal government; (6) FMS did not develop a comprehensive strategy defining program objectives; (7) Treasury's plans did not rank program objectives or identify milestones for accomplishing them; and (8) a comprehensive strategy would provide agencies with direction and focus and would be an integral part of an OMB long-range financial management plan.
