Performance Reports
A performance audit is an independent, systematic evaluation of an organization’s (often governmental or non-profit) programs, operations, or management systems to assess if they are achieving goals economically, efficiently, and effectively, going beyond just financial checks to find ways to improve resource use and outcomes. These audits help ensure that public funds and resources are used to produce the best possible results for citizens. They answer the following questions.
- Are programs meeting their objectives?
- Are services delivered efficiently and fairly?
- Are legal requirements being met?
- Are resources (money, time, people) used optimally?
