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[Footnote 1] and other relevant planning documents, 
such as the District's citywide strategic plan and the Strategic 
Business Planning Resource Guide. We also reviewed recommendations 
from our reports on previous years' performance accountability 
reports.

We conducted our work from March through July 2003 in accordance with 
generally accepted government auditing standards. In accordance with 
requirements contained in the act, we consulted with a representative 
of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget concerning our 
review.

We provided a draft of this report to the mayor of the District of 
Columbia for review and comment. The District of Columbia provided 
technical comments that were incorporated into the report.

Results in Brief:

The District of Columbia's Fiscal Year 2003 Performance Accountability 
Report generally complied with the statutory reporting requirements and 
provided a comprehensive review of the District's performance. In 
general, the act required the District to provide performance goals for 
all significant activities of the District government in its proposed 
budget and financial plan. Then, at the end of the fiscal year, the 
District is required to report on its actual performance for each goal. 
First, the District provided a statement of the actual level of 
performance achieved compared to each of the goals stated in the 
performance accountability plan for the year for almost all significant 
activities. Second, the District provided the title of the management 
employee most directly responsible for the achievement of each goal and 
the title of the employee's immediate supervisor or superior for almost 
all significant activities. Finally, the District provided a statement 
of the status of significant court orders applicable to the government 
of the District of Columbia during the year and the steps it took to 
comply with such orders.

In summarizing some of the District's performance management 
initiatives, we found that the 2003 performance report provided an 
update on the expansion and implementation of several performance 
management programs. The District reported on the expansion of the 
performance-based budgeting program to 27 additional agencies. The 
District also reported plans to expand the recommendations and court 
orders tracking system to begin tracking cost of implementing 
recommendations and court orders. In addition, the District reported 
plans to implement an online budgeting and performance program to link 
agency budgeting and performance reporting.

2003 Performance Accountability Report Addresses Statutory 
RequirementS:

The District generally met statutory requirements.

The District's 2003 Performance Report Included Almost All Significant 
Activities:

The Fiscal Year 2003 Performance Accountability Report includes 
performance goals for almost all of the District's significant 
activities. The District reported performance goals for 77 activities, 
1 more than last year, and represented 90 percent of the District's 
total expenditures. This year the District included performance data 
for the Council of the District of Columbia. Performance measures for 
the council were reported by council period, which runs from January 1 
in odd numbered years and is 2 years in length. The District reports on 
the council's actual performance but does not set goal targets, so no 
performance rating was assigned.

The District reported the agencies' actual performance for almost all 
of the goals of the agencies. The 2003 report included the actual 
performance achieved for about 92 percent of the goals included in the 
performance report. The report contained actual performance information 
for 72 agencies with 288 goals among them. For the 5 agencies for which 
the District did not report actual performance, and the corresponding 
18 goals, the report provided explanations for why the data were 
missing or unavailable.

The District did not include 33 activities in the 2003 performance 
report, representing about 10 percent of the District's budget. Last 
year we recommended the District include goals for the Public Charter 
Schools, one of the larger activities the District had omitted in 2002. 
Although goals for the Public Charter Schools were not presented in the 
fiscal year 2003 report, the District explained that goals have been 
created for the schools in 2003 and the Charter Schools actual 
performance will be reported in the fiscal year 2004 report. The final 
goals and targets for the Public Charter Schools will be included in 
the fiscal year 2005 budget and performance plan, after agency 
officials review and accept the proposed goals and targets.

Besides the Public Charter Schools, most of the activities not included 
in the performance report were District special fund activities. In our 
prior review of the District's performance report,[Footnote 2] we 
recommended the District report performance data for its special funds, 
to provide a more comprehensive picture of District activities. While 
District officials agreed with our recommendation to include goals for 
special funds in future reports, the special funds were not included in 
the 2003 report. According to the report and an interview with a 
District official, measures for special funds were not included because 
of limited staff resources and other agency priorities. The 2003 report 
provided explanations for other activities not included, some due to 
internal agency mergers or because no goals were set for them.

Appendix I lists the 77 agencies and associated expenditures included 
in the District's 2003 performance accountability report, and appendix 
II lists the budget activities not included in the 2003 report.

The District's 2003 Performance Report Included Names of Management 
Responsible for Performance:

As required by statute, the 2003 report included almost all of the 
names and titles of the District managers most directly responsible for 
the achievement of each of the goals, as well as most of the names and 
titles of those managers' immediate supervisors.

The District Reported Actions Taken to Comply with Court Orders:

The law requires that the District's performance report include the 
status of any court orders applicable to the District during the year 
and the steps it took to comply with such orders. The 2003 performance 
report includes a more complete summary of the status of selected court 
orders than previous reports. In our reviews of prior performance 
reports, we have recommended that the District provide more descriptive 
updates on steps taken to respond to relevant court orders. In response 
to our recommendation, the 2003 report states that officials provided 
additional detail, but balanced full disclosure to the public with 
respect for court proceedings.

THE DISTRICT HAS ADDED NEW PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES THAT 
SUPPORT PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY EFFORTS:

We found that the 2003 performance report provided an update on the 
expansion and implementation of several performance management 
programs.

The District Implemented the Performance-Based Budgeting Program in 
Additional Agencies:

In 2003 the District implemented its performance-based budgeting 
program in 27 additional agencies, representing nearly 40 percent of 
the District's total expenditures. Performance-based budgeting links 
budgets to programs and activities and involves developing a new 
program budget structure encompassing programs, activities, and 
services as opposed to an organizational budget structure. The 
District's implementation of performance-based budgeting is aligned 
with the city's strategic planning process. The city's strategic plan 
defines five broad priority areas and identifies goals for each of 
those areas.[Footnote 3] For each priority area, the plan also 
identifies the amount of funding provided for the fiscal year. Agency 
strategic plans are linked to these priority areas, and in the 
agencies' implementing performance-based budgeting, the agency goals 
and key performance measures are also linked with these priority areas. 
The Mayor's proposed budget describes strategic goals to be achieved by 
the agency over the next 2 to 3 years and activities and key 
initiatives by program within each agency. Each program includes a 
budget, program activities, related activities, and related key 
initiatives and results measures.

Although the revised planning process that accompanies performance-
based budgeting may result in changes in the presentation of goals and 
measures from prior year performance plans and reports, we found that 
agency goals included in the 2003 report were generally consistent with 
agency goals reported in the 2003 performance plan. Approximately 79 
percent of the 306 goals remained consistent from the 2003 performance 
plan and the 2003 performance report.

A District official said the performance-based budgeting program, 
although not yet implemented in every District agency, has already led 
to improved performance management and budgeting. During the 
formulation of the District's 2004 budget, officials charged by the 
District's Council with finding additional savings or making across-
the-board reductions in contract spending analyzed performance-based 
budgeting data to identify areas where contracts could be eliminated 
and costs reduced while minimizing the impact on the overall program's 
performance.

In addition to the District's initial 7 agencies that implemented 
performance-based budgeting for 2003 and the additional 27 agencies 
that implemented their initial performance-based budgets for 2004, the 
District plans to implement the program for 25 agencies in 2004 and 
anticipates all 77 agencies will be utilizing performance-based 
budgeting by 2006. Appendix III provides a list of the agencies and the 
performance-based budgeting phase that will be introduced.

Implementation of Online Budgeting and Performance Reporting System:

The District's implementation of an online budget development and 
performance reporting system, Argus, will enable the District to 
conduct additional performance analysis and data management. The 
District official we interviewed said the Argus system will be based on 
the Hyperion Planning, Scorecard, and Analyzer and Reports software, 
which will link agency budgeting and performance reporting, allow for 
monthly performance monitoring, and enhance data collection oversight 
by District management. Through Argus, agencies will prepare budget 
requests based on actual program costs. The Argus program will also 
eliminate the agency's ability to modify performance targets or past 
performance without management approval, thereby improving data 
reliability and management oversight. Prior to Argus, the Office of the 
City Administrator was manually identifying such changes at the end of 
the fiscal year and requiring agency explanations. The District 
official we interviewed said Argus will reduce the amount of manual 
tracking of performance data, freeing up staff resources to focus on 
additional performance analysis. The District plans to implement the 
performance reporting component in October 2004 for the agencies 
already using or implementing performance-based budgeting.

Expansion of Recommendation Tracking System Will Enable the District to 
Report Costs of Implementing Court Orders:

The District's expansion of the recommendation tracking system will 
enable the District to report the costs incurred through implementing 
court orders and other recommendations. Last year, the District's Chief 
Financial Officer noted that the District's unforeseen expenses are 
often driven by new legislative imperatives, court-ordered mandates, 
and suits and settlements. As a result, we recommended that the 
District improve tracking and monitoring the costs associated with 
compliance with court orders. In the fiscal year 2003 performance 
report, the District outlined plans to expand the recommendation 
tracking system, originally designed to track recommendation 
implementation throughout the District, to include tracking the cost of 
implementing court orders and other recommendations. The recommendation 
tracking system, administered by the District's Office of Risk 
Management, will begin tracking implementation costs at the end of FY 
2004.

The District has made steady progress over the past 5 years in 
implementing a more results-oriented approach to management and 
accountability and issuing timely and more complete performance 
reports. We did not find any significant areas for improvement in the 
District's performance accountability report. However, as we have 
reported, actions have not been completed on our prior recommendations 
related to expanding coverage of goals and measures to all activities 
within the Mayor's authority, and the monitoring of court costs.
