Met - Nonfinancial benefits reported for goal 3 in fiscal year 2009 included 620 instances in which agencies’ core business
processes were improved or governmentwide management reforms were advanced because of our work. In addition, there were 14
instances in which information we provided to the Congress resulted in statutory or regulatory changes. This total of 634
nonfinancial benefits exceeded our target of 625. The larger number of nonfinancial benefits occurred mainly in our financial
management and information technology areas where we tend to make multiple, specific recommendations for change to more than
one entity. We describe some of our major accomplishments in the goal 3 section of appendix 1. Our forward-looking assessments
of the executive branch’s current efforts to implement our recommendations made under this goal led us to set our fiscal year
2010 target at 630. While we recognize that this target is slightly lower than our fiscal year 2009 actual performance and
4-year average for this measure, we believe that this target will best encourage staff to document the full range of nonfinancial
benefits possible resulting from our goal 3 work.

Our fiscal year 2010 target for nonfinancial benefits differs from the target we reported in our fiscal year 2010 performance
budget in January 2009. Specifically, we increased our target for nonfinancial benefits from 625.
