Report Detail - OPPAGA

Florida is ahead of other states and the federal government in funding programs based on results.
The Legislature has incorporated performance data into the budget process to improve accountability. The Legislature has also used the process to provide both budget flexibility and incentive funding.
Some agencies have embraced performance measurement as a management tool and have obtained significant benefits.
Agencies have proposed large programs to maximize budget flexibility, but this limits accountability. Agencies are now developing more realistic proposals.
State agencies have made progress in measuring program results. However, improvements are needed before the Legislature and citizens can readily assess program results and costs.
Performance-based program budgeting will take several years to implement. State agencies must continue to refine performance measures and standards.
