摘要：	This is the second year the Commission has prepared a Management Discussion and Analysis. In FY 2002 the agency entered into an agreement with the Bureau of Public Debt to provide accounting and financial services beginning in FY 2003. While the Bureau of Public Debt operates a JFMIP-approved accounting system, the Commissions previous provider did not. Thus, in FY 2003, even though granted a waiver by OMB, and with only one years data able to be audited, the Commission determined to comply with the spirit of the Accountability of Tax Dollars Act and submit a report. In that year, the accounting firm of Clifton Gunderson LLP, which audited our financial statements, issued an opinion on our balance sheet only. Still, we were very pleased that the agency achieved an unqualified opinion from the accounting firm for FY 2003. In FY 2004, for the first time, the Commission has two years of data in our JFMIP-approved accounting system, and the auditor, which is again Clifton Gunderson LLP, has been able to issue an opinion on all of the Commissions financial statements. During FY 2004, for the first time in the Commissions history, the agencys budget was allocated among its bureaus and offices. This process has both enhanced management accountability for expenditures and led to a deeper involvement by management officials in the full range of the budget and planning process. Further, during FY 2004 the Commission began shifting the focus of its strategic planning process, making FY 2004 the last year in which the agencys performance plan goals were primarily program activity-specific. The Commissions Revised Final FY 2005 and Initial FY 2006 Performance Plans are based on agency-wide goals and cover one hundred percent of agency activities, i.e., both specific goals and steady state activities. As we begin FY 2005, the agency looks forward to achieving another important step in its continuing efforts to link planning, budgeting and performance.
