GAO-04-940R 1 (2004-07-07)

handle is hein.gao/gaobaammk0001 and id is 1 raw text is: I Accountability * Integrity * Reliability United States General Accounting Office Washington, DC 20548 July 7, 2004 Congressional Committee and Subcommittees This is the fifth consecutive year that we have reviewed the District of Columbia's performance accountability report as mandated by the Federal Payment Reauthorization Act of 1994. The act requires the Mayor of the District of Columbia to submit to the Congress a performance accountability plan containing a statement of measurable and objective performance goals for the coming fiscal year for all significant activities of the District government. After the end of the fiscal year, the District is to submit a performance accountability report on the extent to which the District achieved these goals. This requirement for the District government is similar to the requirements for executive branch federal agencies under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). GAO's report focuses on the continued progress the District has made in performance reporting. Specifically, the objectives of this report were to (1) examine the extent to which the performance accountability report is in compliance with statutory requirements, and (2) summarize some of the District's other significant performance management initiatives and identify additional opportunities for improvement. To meet our objectives, we reviewed and analyzed the information presented in the District's Fiscal Year 2003 Performance Accountability Report and related budget and planning documents, and interviewed the District official primarily responsible for strategic planning and performance management. More specifically, (1) To examine the extent to which the District's performance accountability report is in compliance with the statutory requirements, we analyzed the information contained in the District's report in conjunction with the requirements contained in the Federal Payment Reauthorization Act of 1994. (2) To summarize some of the District's performance management initiatives we reviewed prior years' performance accountability reports and budget documents' and other relevant planning documents, such as the District's citywide strategic plan and the Strategic Business Planning Resource Guide.
