Lieberman Ranking Minority Member Committee on Governmental Affairs United States Senate Subject: Observations on the Department of the Treasury's Fiscal Year 1999 Performance Report and Fiscal Year 2001 Performance Plan As you requested, we have reviewed the 24 Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act agencies' fiscal year 1999 performance reports and fiscal year 2001 performance plans required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). In essence, under GPRA, annual performance plans are to establish performance goals and measures covering a given fiscal year and provide the direct linkage between an agency's longer term goals and day-to-day activities. Annual performance reports are to subsequently report on the degree to which those performance goals were met. This letter contains two enclosures responding to your request concerning key program outcomes and the major management challenges at the Department of the Treasury. Enclosure I to this letter provides our observations on the Department of the Treasury's fiscal year 1999 actual and fiscal year 2001 planned performance for the key outcomes that you identified as important mission areas for the agency. These key outcomes are (1) tax laws are administered effectively and fairly; (2) less waste, fraud, and error relating to the Earned Income Tax Credit; (3) improved delinquent tax and non-tax debt collection; (4) reduced availability and/or use of illegal drugs; and (5) criminals are denied access to firearms and firearms-related crime is reduced. Enclosure II lists the major management challenges facing the agency that we and the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of the Treasury identified, how the fiscal year 1999 performance report discussed the progress the agency made in resolving these challenges, and the applicable goals and measures in the fiscal year 2001 performance plan.
