ACL is committed to strengthening its internal infrastructure and mechanisms to identify, analyze, and mitigate systemic issues that may prevent the agency from achieving our mission objectives. Developing an agency-wide risk profile for ACL's key business and programmatic operations will provide an integrated and prioritized ranking of the agency's risks and opportunities. The risk profile will support ACL leadership in making decisions related to strategy, budget, and performance and will result in improved operations, reduced risk levels, and avoidance of negative assessments by OIG, GAO, and outside entities.
