U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Ensuring the Federal Government has an effective civilian workforce

This system is assessed based on documented evidence of a Human Capital Accountability System that provides for annual assessment of agency human capital management progress and results including compliance with relevant laws, rules, and regulations. The system will:

• Be formal, documented, and approved by OPM.
  
  
• Be supported and resourced by agency leadership.
  
  
• Measure and assess all human capital management systems for mission alignment, effectiveness, efficiency, and compliance with merit system principles, laws, and regulations.

• Include an independent audit process with periodic review of human resources transactions to insure legal and regulatory compliance.

• Ensure action is taken to improve human capital programs and processes and correct deficiencies.

• Ensure results are analyzed and reported to agency management and OPM.
