OMB Seeks More Agencies To Consolidate Performance and Accountability Report
The Office of Management and Budget this year will expand its pilot program to produce a more readable and usable format for agencies' annual consolidated Performance and Accountability Report (PAR). The pilot program seeks to make the presentation of agency financial and performance information more understandable and transparent to Congress, the public and other agencies. Eleven agencies participated last year, the pilot program’s first year, and OMB anticipates more this year. All major agencies, regardless of whether they participate in the program, will be required to create a two-page summary that gives the reader a quick snapshot of agency results and continue to produce their voluminous consolidated Performance and Accountability Report, which contains exhaustive agency details and data.
