U. S. Department of Education FY 2011 Agency Financial Report

摘要

The United States Department of Education's (the Department's) Agency Financial Report (AFR) for fiscal year (FY) 2011 provides to Congress, the President, and the American people an overview of the Department's financial performance and results and detailed information about our stewardship over the financial resources entrusted to us. Additionally, the report provides information about our performance as an organization, our accomplishments and initiatives, and our challenges as required by the Office of Management and Budget's Circulars A-11 and A-136. The AFR is the first of three reports required under the Office of Management and Budget's Program for Alternative Approaches to Performance and Accountability Reporting. This is the third year that the Department has participated in this voluntary program. The Department is participating in this alternative approach in an effort to strengthen its annual reporting documents and to present more streamlined and timely information. The Department's goal is to provide a more meaningful, transparent, and easily understood analysis of accountability over its resources. The report provides readers with an overview of the Department's strengths and challenges.
