The California Government Accountability Council serves as California's leading voice for government reform and improving the quality of life of every Californian. To do this, we serve as the state's leading "watchdog" of state and local government in California. The Council combats waste, fraud, abuse and inefficiencies in government and promotes greater accountability for results. As the leading voice for fundamental reform of state and local government, the Council applies the principles of performance, transparency, competition and accountability to state and local government as the best way of safeguarding the quality of life and interests of taxpayers in California.

The Performance Institute is a private think tank that serves as the nation’s leading authority and repository on performance-based management practices for government agencies. Our mission is to identify, study and disseminate the leading management innovations pioneered by ‘best-in-class’ public-sector organizations. Through national conferences on pressing issues, interactive executive training programs, best practice research and strategic consulting services, the Institute provides cutting-edge expertise in the design, implementation and evaluation of strategies to solve operational challenges, improve customer service and enhance organizational performance.
