handle is hein.gao/gaocrptauxg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: PERFORMANCE PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 2008 Mission, Performance Plans, Resources and Strategies GAO's Mission GAO is an independent, nonpartisan, professional services agency in the legislative branch of the federal government. Commonly known as the audit and investigative arm of the Congress or the congressional watchdog, we examine how taxpayer dollars are spent and advise lawmakers and agency heads on ways to make government work better. Our mission is to support the Congress in meeting its constitutional responsibilities and to help improve the performance and ensure the accountability of the federal government for the benefit of the American people. We accomplish our mission by providing reliable information and informed analysis to the Congress, federal agencies, and the public, and we recommend improvements, when appropriate, on a wide variety of issues. Three core values-accountability, integrity, and reliability-form the basis for all of our work, regardless of its origin. As a legislative branch agency, we are exempt from many laws that apply to the executive branch agencies. However, we generally hold ourselves to the spirit of many of the laws, including the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). Among other things, GPRA requires each agency to prepare an annual performance plan covering each program activity set forth in the budget of such agency. This section of our budget submission constitutes our performance plan for fiscal year 2008. Performance Information To accomplish our mission, we use a strategic planning and management process that is based on the following four strategic goals: * Strategic Goal 1: Provide timely, quality service to the Congress and the federal government to address current and emerging challenges to the well-being and financial security of the American people. * Strategic Goal 2: Provide timely, quality service to the Congress and the federal government to respond to changing security threats and the challenges of global interdependence. * Strategic Goal 3: Help transform the federal government's role and how it does business to meet 21st century challenges. * Strategic Goal 4: Maximize the value of GAO by being a model federal agency and a world-class professional services organization. Our work is primarily aligned under the first three strategic goals, which span issues that are both domestic and international, affect the lives of all Americans, and influence the extent to which the federal government serves the nation's current and future interests. The fourth goal-our only internal one-is aimed at maximizing our productivity.1 'Complete descriptions of the steps in our strategic planning and management process are included in our strategic plan for fiscal years 2004 through 2009, which is available on our Web site at http://www.ao.ov. We plan to update our strategic plan early in calendar year 2007. GAO's Performance Plan for Fiscal Year 2008 GAO-07-421 SP
