## Small Business Procurement Scorecard Overview

**Small Business Procurement Scorecard Overview**
- The SBA is implementing a Small Business Procurement Scorecard for Chief Financial Officers Act agencies. The Scorecard is modeled after the one used to track the President's Management Agenda and will complement the goals and objectives of the President's Management Agenda by meeting government wide standards of success in financial management; demonstrating high standards of integrity; maintaining a high-performance culture; and ensuring accountability for the American people's money. It provides for a current status rating, based on actual performance, and a progress rating based on what agencies have done, and are planning to do, to improve performance.
