(1) Citizens demand and deserve accountability of public programs and activities. Public programs must continuously improve accountability and performance reporting in order to increase public trust.
(2) Washington state government agencies must continuously improve their management and performance so citizens receive maximum value for their tax dollars.
(3) The application of best practices in performance management has improved results and accountability in many Washington state agencies and other jurisdictions.
