June 2006
Report Number 06-042
Overall Conclusion
The Texas State Technical College System (System) reported reliable results for 14 (70 percent) of the 20 performance measures audited for fiscal year 2005. The System reported performance measure results for its four colleges in Marshall, Waco, Harlingen, and West Texas. Specific results were as follows:
- The System reported reliable performance measures for two (40 percent) of the five measures audited at Texas State Technical College - Marshall.
- The System reported reliable performance measures for three (60 percent) of the five measures audited at Texas State Technical College - Waco.
- The System reported reliable performance measures for four (80 percent) of the five measures audited at Texas State Technical College - Harlingen.
- The System reported reliable performance measures for each of the five measures audited at Texas State Technical College - West Texas.
To improve the reliability of the performance measures it reports, the System should perform supervisory review of performance measure calculations and review data that has been entered into the Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) before it is released into ABEST. It should also develop written policies and procedures for documenting, calculating, reviewing, and reporting performance measures.
