Progress Report On Federal Executive

Development Programs



The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and five
agencies GAO reviewed established and are operating
executive development programs required by the Civil
Service Reform Act of 1978. Most program partici-
pants GAO interviewed believed the programs were
beneficial in preparing candidates for the Senior
Executive Service (SES) and in improving the ability of
StS members to do their jobs.
Officials in four of the five agencies GAO reviewed
believed OPM's executive development guidance was
difficult to use because it was fragmented and they
e~pressed concern about OPM's reduction in the level
of agency assistance following budget cutbacks in
fiscal year 1982. All five of the agencies were, in some
instances, not complying with parts of OPM's execu-
tive development program guidance and regulations.
OPM consolidated its program guidance, assigned
additional staff members to assist the agencies, and
reemphasized to the agencies their responsibilities
for compliance with OPM guidance and regulations.
These measures should alleviate the agencies' con-
corns and improve their compliance with OPM's guid-
arce and regulations.
