Report on VA Performance Honored for Ninth Year in a Row
May 15, 2008
Peake: VA "Best of the Best" in Providing Clear Information
WASHINGTON - Continuing its commitment to give veterans clear, valuable
information on how the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is performing,
for the ninth year in a row, VA has been rated by an independent research
center as having one of the best annual performance reports in the federal
sector.
"Veterans have the right to know whether this Department is meeting its
obligations to them," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. James B.
Peake. "This prestigious, independent group has found -- once again --
that VA is among the best of the best in the federal sector for providing
meaningful information to the American public about our operations and
performance."

Since 2000, the Mercatus Center at George Mason
University has examined the performance and accountability reports issued
annually by federal agencies. This year, VA's report was third among 24
federal departments and agencies. VA also tied for having the highest
score in both transparency and leadership, an example
 of
the Department's commitment to provide information that is useful and easy
to understand and that clearly describes VA's contribution to America.
Called Ninth Annual Performance Report Scorecard: Which Federal Agencies
Best Inform the Public?, the new Mercatus study found VA's report is "a
user-friendly and informative document."
"The Department [of Veterans Affairs] continues to be an innovator in
performance accountability and reporting," the study's authors said in a
press statement.
"These findings show that VA has developed a management culture that sets
high standards, measurable goals, and encourages accountability to the
American public," Peake said.
VA published its latest performance and accountability report in November
2007. It documents the Department's progress toward ensuring America's
veterans and their families receive timely, compassionate, high-quality
care and benefits.
