The Department of Legal Affairs has not yet implemented our recommendations to establish goals, performance measures, baselines and benchmarks for the Division of Economic Crime. However, the Department has begun the performance-based program budgeting process, which will include developing performance measures.
The Division relies on informal processes to assure that all information is considered in the review and approval of proposed settlements.
The Division of Economic Crime's annual reports are of limited use to the Legislature or the public.
