The following four basic management issues consistently emerged: (1) developing more-precise program and business goals and better measuring performance against them, (2) improving operational effectiveness by taking fuller advantage of reengineering opportunities and investments in modern technology, (3) strengthening financial management to instill accountability and control costs, and (4) building the capacity of the federal workforce to more effectively and efficiently implement and manage programs. Congress, through the Government Performance and Result Act, the Chief Financial Officers Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, and other initiatives, has established a basic management framework focusing on the outcomes of federal programs. As agencies streamline their programs and processes in order to do more with less, the key is to do so in a focused and planned way that holds modern management systems accountable for producing results. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-AIMD-95-158/html/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-AIMD-95-158.htm GAO/T-GGD/AIMD-95-158 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-GGD-AIMD-95-158 Testimony GAO/T-GGD/AIMD-95-158; Managing for Results: Steps for Strengthening Federal Management; Federal agencies Accountability Agency missions Strategic information systems planning General management reviews Budget administration Cost control Internal controls Work measurement standards Financial management systems FAA Advanced Automation System IRS Tax System Modernization Program USDA Info Share Program FAA Air Traffic Control System Superfund Program TSM GMR
