Impact of TFI Programs and Activities: In 

order to gauge its performance, TFI created a 

composite measure consisting of three 

program office focus areas related to its 

mission and strategic goals, including 

customer outreach, increasing production and 

dissemination of intelligence products, and 

implementing IT modernization projects. In 

FY 2016, TFI exceeded its performance goal 

of 8.5 with a score of 8.7 and expects to 

achieve its FY 2017 and FY 2018 target of 8.5.

TFI and Treasury will work with OMB on 

developing new performance measures that 

align to the new TFI Strategic Plan.
