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.

In 1993, the Congress enacted the Government Performance and Results Act, commonly referred to as the "Results Act" to address the growing public demand that government become more effective and less costly. The Results Act is a key part of a broad statutory framework enacted during the 1990s that seeks to improve federal management by shtfting decision-making and accountability away from a preoccupation with the activities that government undertakes and toward an emphasis on the results of those activities that is, for example, from grants awarded or inspections performed to real gains in performance, quality, or responsiveness. Under the Results Act, executive departments and agencies (hereafter referred to as "agencies") developed multiyear strategic plans and submitted those plans to the Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) on September 30,1997. The act also requires the President to include with his annual budget submission a federal government performance plan. The Congress intended that this plan provide a "single cohesive picture of the annual performance goals for the fiscal year. To support this requirement, the act directs the Director of 0MB to require agencies to develop annual performance plans, which are provided to the appropriate committees of the Congress after publication of the governmentwide plan. The first annual performance plans cover fiscal year 1999, with the governrnentwide plan submitted to the Congress in February 1998. The Results Act also requires agencies to submit annual program performance reports, with the first report covering fiscal year 1999 to be issued by March 31, 2000. As part of your continuing efforts to ensure that the Results Act achieves its full promise, you asked us to review the fiscal year 1999 agency and governmentwide performance plans.

GAO published an assessment guide to facilitate congressional use of agencies' performance plans developed under the Government Performance and Results Act, focusing on the: (1) annual performance goals and measures for each agency's program activities; (2) strategies and resources needed to achieve annual performance goals; (3) procedures the agency will use to verify and validate its performance data; and (4) issues that need to be addressed, and key assessment questions that can help congressional users elicit the cost and performance information on the Results Act's planning and reporting requirements as well as related guidance on annual performance plans.

GAO reviewed the General Services Administration's (GSA) fiscal year (FY) 1999 annual performance plan, which was submitted to Congress as required by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. GAO noted that: (1) GSA's performance plan has several performance goals for each of its strategic goals; (2) some of its performance goals and measures are objective and quantified and provide a way to compare actual to planned performance; (3) in addition, the plan contains some goals and measures that involve comparisons of GSA and the private sector; (4) however, for the most part, the plan falls short of meeting the criteria set forth in the Results Act and related guidance; (5) it does not adequately provide a clear picture of expected performance across the agency because: (a) like the goals in its strategic plan, many performance goals, and related measures, are not quantifiable or results oriented; (b) performance plan goals are not always linked to the specific program activities and funding in its budget; and (c) also like the strategic plan, the performance plan does not discuss GSA's coordination efforts for many crosscutting activities; (6) GAO also found that the performance plan generally does not have an explicit discussion of the strategies and resources that will be needed to achieve goals or the external factors that will affect accomplishment of the goals; and (7) although the plan includes a discussion of how GSA plans to verify performance data that provides partial confidence that performance information will be credible, it does not discuss the actions GSA has taken or will take to address known data limitations.
