Key Findings from Previous Audits
and Reviews Senate Bill 311 (77th Legislature) created the Texas Building and Procurement
Performance Management Commission (TBPC) and abolished the General Services Commission. This transition
Quality Assurance Team Reviews resulted in significant changes to almost every aspect of TBPC's operations. TBPC
revised its budget structure, mission, philosophy, goals, objectives, strategies, and
Disaster Preparedness performance measures to align them with current statutory responsibilities. The revised
Information System Vulnerability budget structure becomes effective in the fiscal year 2004-2005 budget cycle.
Assessments
Travel Expenditures TBPC's methods for estimating revenues and expenditures reported in its Legislative
Appropriations Request (LAR) appear to accurately present TBPC's budgetary position
and results.
TBPC has unexpended budget authority for the Building Design/Construction
Management and the Deferred Maintenance strategies. These strategies do not have any
amounts on the fiscal year 2003 agency operating budget because no new funds will be
allocated to them in fiscal year 2003. Funds appropriated in prior years will be brought
forward to complete the projects and used solely for capital expenditures. According to
management, TBPC budgeted these funds in its LAR and capital budget.
TBPC has not actively managed the contract between the State and the vendor bank that
provides procurement cards. The lack of contract management has cost the State money,
but omissions in the contract make it impossible to determine how much.
