An Audit Report on Performance Measures at the Water Development Board
April 2007
Report Number 07-027
Overall Conclusion
The Water Development Board (Board) reported reliable results for 71 percent (five of seven) of the fiscal year 2006 key performance measures audited. A result is considered reliable if it is certified or certified with qualification.
Specifically:
- Five performance measures audited were certified with qualification because the Board does not have policies and procedures for reviewing information entered into the Automated Budget and Evaluation System of Texas (ABEST) before its submission of performance measure information is complete.
- Factors prevented the certification of one outcome measure--Percent of Key Regional and Statewide Water Planning Activities Completed--because the calculation methodology the Board used for this performance measure was mathematically incorrect.
- One output measure--Number of Responses to Requests for Water Resources Information--was inaccurate because the Board did not include all responses to requests for information in its reported number.
