Two organizations are involved in the Management Integration goal: Departmental Management (DM) and the Office of Inspector General (OIG). Within DM, most of the performance accomplishments are reflected in the President’s Management Agenda (PMA) section of this PAR. Key areas that this goal does address include: financial management, contracting, competitive sourcing, and human resource management. In FY 2007, the Department met 67 percent of the targets it had set for the year.
The Department received an unqualified audit opinion for the ninth consecutive year, and obligated 44 percent of its contracting resources to small businesses. In the field of human resources, it conducted leadership training for almost 1,500 employees to close targeted competency gaps, and consulted with scores of individual managers regarding tools and techniques for making better hiring decisions.

For the Management Integration goal, the primary goal/target was to eliminate the Significant Deficiency in information technology controls, which impacted the Financial Management measure. DM was not able to fully complete this task in FY 2007. DM also did not meet targets for the percent of performance-based contracts and the percent of contracts obligated to small businesses. The OIG met or exceeded all its targets including substantially exceeding for “Dollar value of financial benefits identified,” with an actual of $51.7 million, the target being $29.6 million.
