Performance and Accountability Report

About this Report

The Architect of the Capitol’s (AOC) Performance and Accountability Report (PAR) reports on programmatic and financial performance data for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014. AOC uses the PAR to promote transparency and accountability over the federal funds it receives and to demonstrate its responsibility for the public property in its care. The PAR also shows AOC’s steadfast dedication to accomplishing its mission to serve Congress and the Supreme Court, preserve America’s Capitol, and inspire memorable visitor experiences. AOC is proud to highlight employees throughout the report whose on-the-job performance led to another successful year of operations. In addition, a series of “In Focus” sidebars, with AOC website hyperlinks, are interspersed throughout the report to spotlight various project and program accomplishments.
