To the Honorable, the Assembly:
A396
We have completed an evaluation of the consolidation of administrative functions within the Department of Administration (DOA) and the Accountability, Consolidation, and Efficiency (ACE) Initiative, as requested by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. In 2005, DOA implemented the ACE Initiative to improve management of purchasing, human resources, and information technology (IT) functions. Although the ACE Initiative ended in June 2007, many of its components remain in effect.
Currently, DOA provides human resources services to 7 other state agencies, purchasing services to 11 other agencies, and computer server and network support services to 7 other agencies. However, the agencies continue to incur costs to complete certain administrative tasks that DOA does not perform.
