SECTION A -- BUDGET SUMMARIES AND COUNTY PROFILE
FY 2006 POLICY PRIORITY PROPOSAL
Department(s): Department of Management and Finance
Policy
Priority: Program Performance Reviews
Establish a Committee on
Program Performance to institute a more comprehensive review of new external
and internal performance management audits.
The presence of this Committee and the application of new performance
audits will help residents ensure that they are receiving value, by examining
different performance aspects of those targeted programs.
The Committee will consist
of 6 members to include two members of the County Board, the County Manager,
the Deputy County Manager, the Commissioner of the Revenue and a representative
from the Arlington Fiscal Affairs Advisory Commission. The Committee will have regularly scheduled
meetings to review the performance and financial audits.
The Committee will create
a work plan to perform independent audits where results will be shared with
appropriate audiences. The external
performance audits will be conducted by third-party independent organizations
hired by the County for the explicit purpose of conducting performance audits
following the work plans created by the Committee. It is anticipated that four to five program audits could be completed
in the first year.
Through the standardized use of work plans and reviews, the Committee
will increase the transparency and accountability of program performance and
continue to improve the service that Arlington County offers to its residents.
