about performance reporting...

AGA remains dedicated to improving performance and accountability
of federal, state and local governments for the benefit of the
American people. Through the Certificate of Excellence in
Accountability Reporting (CEAR) Program and the Certificate of
Excellence in Service Efforts and Accomplishments Reporting (COE in
SEA Reporting) Program, AGA helps governments produce more effective
performance reports.
The programs establish high standards for producing reports by
conducting peer reviews of the documents, and formally recognizing those
deemed most effective. The programs also improve performance
reporting by providing training for the individuals responsible for
producing the reports and the individuals who evaluate the reports.
Quality reporting is a critical part of the performance
management effort. It improves communication with internal and
external stakeholders, leads to better decision making and,
ultimately, improves performance.

President's Management Agenda
-
AGA's 2007 Citizen-Centric Report - This new initiative
encourages governments to produce and publish an annual ‘state
of the government’ report that is no more than four pages long.
The reports, designed to be visually appealing, provide
understandable information to citizens about the financial
condition and performance of the government that answers the
question, “Are we better off today than we were last year?”
