ABSTRACT
Using performance data in the budgetary process means integrating information about outcomes and impacts in decisions about the allocation of funds where the goal is to be able to allocate financial resources using performance information to make a more informed decision. Performance measures are generally established at the agency level, oftentimes with input from executive and legislative budget offices. Ideally, performance measures are developed for both internal use by agency staff as well as use for external reporting, including use in the budget process.
