However, the executive budget program authorization, which provides each program's legal authority, is not always accurate and complete. Thus, this information in the executive budget may not be reliable. The Department of Revenue's and the Louisiana Tax Commission's performance data reported in the 1997-98 executive budget do not provide sufficient information to the legislature and other external users to evaluate the department's accomplishments. Some missions and goals are absent.
Goals are incomplete.
None of the objectives are measurable or timebound. Thus, the performance indicators do not measure progress toward objectives. The indicators primarily focus on outputs and do not focus on results. Performance data are not included in the 1997-98 executive budget for the Louisiana Tax Free Shopping Commission's activities. This could decrease the program's accountability.
