An Audit Report on Performance Measures at the Commission on Fire Protection

May 2009

Report Number 09-039

Overall Conclusion

The Commission on Fire Protection (Commission) reported reliable results for one (33 percent) of three key performance measures tested for fiscal year 2008. A performance measure result is considered reliable if it is certified or certified with qualification.

One key measure-Percentage of Total Amount Requested for Loans/Grants Compared with Requests Awarded-was certified with qualification because the Commission's policies and procedures describing the collection, calculation, and reporting of performance measure results to the Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) need to be updated.

Factors prevented the certification of the following two key performance measures because (1) auditors could not re-create the results that the Commission reported to ABEST using the Commission's databases and (2) source documents were not available for review:

- Percentage of Inspected Fire Certificate Holders with No Recent Violations.

- Number of Fire Service Personnel Certified.
