Specifically, GAO examines Education's progress in achieving selected key outcomes that are important to its mission. Given the lack of performance data, explanations, and strategies to meet unmet goals in the future, it was difficult for GAO to assess progress. The lack of a performance plan also hindered GAO's efforts to assess the department's progress. Specifically, GAO found that it was difficult to assess Education's progress in achieving the six selected outcomes due to the lack of fiscal year 2000 data for many of its indicators. Consistent with its findings in reviewing Education's performance report from last year, GAO found that Education had no goals or measures for preventing fraud, waste, mismanagement, and error in the student financial assistance programs. Although the Office of Student Financial Assistance has established a target of being removed from GAO's high-risk list, there were no corresponding goals or measures in the department's interim report. However, Education has revised its strategic plan to incorporate an objective of ensuring financial integrity within the department. Like last year's report, GAO found that there was no discussion in the interim report on strategic human capital management. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-827/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-827.htm GAO-01-827 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-827 Other Written Product GAO-01-827; Department of Education: Status of Achieving Key Outcomes and Addressing Major Management Challenges; Performance measures Aid for education Internal controls Personnel management Reporting requirements Strategic planning GPRA Government Performance and Results Act
