Accountability ensures resources are used efficiently and effectively

The Oregon Commission on Children and Families (OCCF) has implemented a system of accountability to ensure that state and federal resources are utilized efficiently and effectively. Additionally, OCCF completes regular internal control reviews and requires local quarterly reporting of fiscal and program monitoring information collected through the Fiscal, Monitoring, and Outcomes Reporting System (FMORS).

For further information on Outcomes, Accountability and the FMORS database, go to the Oregon Commission on Children & Families' website.

Resources for Results Based Accountability

As the foundation for this system, the OSU Family Policy Program faculty identified the empirical links between Oregon's social goals and benchmarks, achievable program-level outcomes, and proven prevention approaches. This research was summarized in two guides entitled:

Building Results I: From Wellness Goals to Positive Outcomes for Oregon's Children, Youth and Families
Building Results II: Measuring Outcomes for Oregon's Children, Youth, and Families (includes 350-page appendix of measures).
Building Results Through Community Mobilization: From Wellness Goals to Community Outcomes for Oregon's Children, Youth, and Families

Using the guides, communities mesh research findings with local needs and resources and select locally appropriate strategies and outcomes. Communities also use the guides to institute results-based accountability efforts.
