GAO found that agencies have, for the most part, imple- mented SES performance appraisal systems that provide for setting individual objectives and assessing per- formance against them. But SES performance plans often --did not include the act's appraisal criteria; --contained general, rather than specific statements of expected levels of achievement; --were prepared several months after the beginning of the appraisal cycle; --were not updated or revised when executives' responsibilities changed; and --were not prepared for a majority of noncareerists. OPM generally agrees with GAO's findings and has taken a numbr of actions to implement GAO's recommendations. I I'n i 124173 GAO/GGD-84-16 MAY 16, 1984 /Zc/ 7
