Our daily operations fulfill our core mission of safeguarding America’s borders, protecting the public from dangerous people and materials, and enhancing the Nation’s global economic competitiveness by facilitating legitimate trade and travel. The FY 2016 Performance and Accountability Report (PAR) for CBP discusses our challenges, accomplishments, performance results, financial information, interesting facts, and noteworthy stories of success as the Nation’s premier law enforcement agency. CBP is the second largest revenue collection agency that collects more than $44 billion in revenue per year for the Federal Government; therefore, we owe the public total transparency in our stewardship responsibilities. Our PAR describes how we manage our resources and administer our programs, demonstrating our total commitment to responsible stewardship. It provides an opportunity to communicate to the public our programs, challenges, and accomplishments in achieving our mission. For example, the Management Assurances section contains information relating to the reliability and completeness of the financial and performance information and the actions CBP has taken to enhance its effectiveness and efficiency. We work hard to meet the public’s expectations and continue to make great strides by focusing on our four strategic goals: • Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime • Advance Comprehensive Border Security and Management • Enhance U.S. Economic Competitiveness by Enabling Lawful Trade and Travel • Promote Organizational Integration, Innovation, and Agility As the guardians of our Nation’s borders, CBP serves in a crucial leadership role for America’s national security and trade interests, and sets the standard for excellence through the unifying tenets of collaboration, innovation, and integration. In FY 2016, CBP’s accomplishments have made important contributions to our Nation’s homeland security and economic vitality by protecting the United States and the American people from the entry of dangerous goods and people. Through the use of technology, personnel, and resources, CBP has made significant progress in border security efforts, including increases in illegal drug seizures and apprehensions of illegal border crossers. The goal of the PAR remains to provide Congress and the American public with timely, reliable, and useful financial information and to illustrate the value and impact of CBP’s contributions to U.S. prosperity and security. This same information enables CBP managers to make sound business decisions, improve our processes, and increase our efficiency and effectiveness as we execute our vital missions on a daily basis. Looking ahead to FY 2017, CBP will dedicate significant time and effort to making sound investments – in technology and the people who use it – while solidifying existing
