] As a part of our continuing assessment of DOL's compliance with GPRA, we
reviewed the ETA-administered dislocated worker programs (the Dislocated
Worker, Trade Adjustment Assistance, and the North American Free Trade
Agreement Transitional Adjustment Assistance programs) in five states for the
period October 1, 1998 through July 30, 2000. Our review encompassed (1)
Federal, state, and contractor monitoring and general controls over performance
information systems, (2) compliance with GPRA, and (3) an assessment of program
direction provided by ETA and the degree to which ETA fostered effective
cooperation with the entities on which it relies to achieve program results.
Our review identified no deficiencies in general controls over
performance systems or state and contractor monitoring of performance
information. However, ETA's monitoring of performance information could be
significantly improved. While ETA's overall program goals, strategies, and
performance measures for dislocated worker programs were in compliance with
GPRA requirements, office and division mission statements were process oriented
rather than outcome oriented and there were no formal performance measure at
the office or division level. Finally, we found that ETA generally provided
clear and consistent program direction and maintained effective cooperation
with its program partners. ETA indicated general agreement with our recommendations to strengthen
its monitoring of performance information, revise mission statements to be
outcome oriented, and develop office and division level performance measures. (OA Report No. 23-01-001-03-330, issued March 21, 2001)
