Highlights

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO discussed the House Committees' use of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993 to inform their decisionmaking and oversight, focusing on: (1) an overview of the implementation of the GPRA across the executive branch and why the government is at a critical stage in GPRA's implementation; (2) how the House has used GPRA to improve programmatic oversight and decisionmaking and to conduct oversight over selected agencies' efforts to implement the Act; and (3) ways that GPRA can be used to address some of the critical program and management issues confronting the federal government.
