Plans, Budgets, and Performance
The Board uses an integrated process to plan, budget, and assess its performance. Three principal publications document this process:
- Strategic Plan
- Congressional Budget Justification and Annual Performance Report
- Agency Financial Report
The Board's process aligns with and supports the Federal performance framework (see Performance.gov for details).

Strategic Plan
Our Strategic Plan focuses on a vison of the agency’s future that emphasizes technical excellence and allows for continuous improvement and nimble response to a challenging environment. For more information, please visit our Strategic Goals page.
Congressional Budget Justification and Annual Performance Report
Each year, the Board publishes its Congressional Budget Justification and Annual Performance Report. This publication describes the agency's programs in the performance plan, the budget estimates for these program activities, and the distribution of the budget. The performance report also includes goals and measures that gauge the agency's success in accomplishing its mission.

- a report on the agency's success in achieving its strategic and performance goals,
- the results of any significant assessments of program activities that were carried out during the reporting period, and
- the Inspector General's most serious management challenges facing the agency and how the Board is addressing them.
In fiscal year 2018, the Board began publishing the Agency Financial Report (AFR), which replaces the Performance and Accountability Report (PAR).
