8E.208 PERFORMANCE MEASURES, PERFORMANCE TARGETS, AND PERFORMANCE DATA. The department, in consultation with agencies, shall establish guidelines that will be used to create performance measures, performance targets, and data sources for each agency and each agency's functions. Performance measurement is essential to ensuring adequate accountability over public resources and the exchange of public resources for desirable and acceptable public benefits. Performance measurement must include an assessment of whether agencies have adequate control procedures in place, and whether those control procedures are operating effectively, to determine that agencies are receiving or providing services of adequate quality, public resources are being used effectively and efficiently, and public resources are being used for appropriate and meaningful activities.          Section History: Recent Form 2001 Acts, ch 169, §20; 2006 Acts, ch 1153, §6, 9 Referred to in § 8.23, 8E.103
