An Audit Report on Performance Measures at Five State Agencies
March 2005
Report Number 05-030
Overall Conclusion
Reliable results were reported for 58 percent (11 of 19) of the fiscal year 2004 performance measures audited. This reliability rate is slightly lower than the cumulative average reliability rate of 61 percent for prior audits of performance measure results. The reliability percentages by agency for the measures audited are as follows:
- Texas Youth Commission - 100 percent reliable (5 of 26 key measures audited)
- Office of the Public Utility Counsel - 100 percent reliable (3 of 8 key measures and 1 non-key measure audited)
- Railroad Commission - 25 percent reliable (4 of 23 key measures audited)
- Office of Rural Community Affairs - 25 percent reliable (4 of 8 key measures audited)
- Cancer Council - 0 percent reliable (2 of 6 key measures audited)
The reliability percentages were calculated using the results from the measures that were audited.
The reported results for 10 of the 11 reliable measures were certified with qualification because the agencies' controls over data collection and reporting could be improved to ensure continued reliability. A result is reliable if it is classified as certified or certified with qualification.
