Introduction
This Reports Purpose and Reporting Process
This Performance and Accountability Report (PAR) for fiscal year (FY) 2011 provides financial and performance information, enabling the President, Congress, and the American public to assess the annual performance of the Department of Justice (DOJ or the Department).
This report is prepared under the direction of the Department’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The financial statements contained within this report are prepared by the Department’s Justice Management Division, Finance Staff, and audited by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG). This report includes the Department’s financial statements for FY 2011 and for the preceding fiscal year (FY 2010) and reports on all accounts and associated activities of each office, bureau, and activity of the Department. The Department’s FY 2011 audited financial statements have been consolidated or combined based upon the results of audits undertaken in each of the nine Departmental financial reporting entities.
The Department continues to enforce vigorously the broad spectrum of laws of the United States; notably, the fight against terrorism continues to be the highest priority of the Department. In FY 2007, the then Attorney General announced the Department’s Strategic Plan for FYs 2007-2012 (available electronically on the Department’s website at http://www.justice.gov/jmd/mps/strategic2007-2012/index.html). The Strategic Plan includes three strategic goals and related objectives, which are mentioned throughout this report.
