Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Surveying users to determine if they are receiving needed information in a timely manner, if the information is helpful, and if there are any problems with the information and format.
  • Creating targets to measure the number of top 650 filers who file reports electronically. Currently, the program tracks the top filers' use of e-filing but does not set annual targets.
  • Creating performance measure to measure the quality of information provided on Suspicious Activity Reports, possibly by measuring the number of completed fields that are critical to law enforcement.
