5.4: Resources
Institutionalize a fully integrated resource management strategy that supports mission needs and postures the Department for
continuous business process improvement.
Other Information:
To improve our accountability to the American taxpayers, the Department will improve financial performance and integrate budgeting
with strategic and performance planning. To accomplish this, the Department's business systems related to financial information
need to be consolidated and streamlined, thus resulting in the ability to produce accurate and consistent financial reports,
management information, and annual financial statements for senior decision-makers. An accountability model that supports
an integrated, enterprise-wide approach to management is required and standard business practices across Departmental elements
are needed. Additionally, the Department is implementing a solid financial and performance-based management information system
that will include: cost accounting, travel, payroll, budget formulation and execution, procurement, contracts management,
facilities management, human resources, and research and development.
