PRAS - Planning, Reporting & Accountability Structure

The Department uses the Treasury Board-approved PRAS (September 2001) as the principal strategic management and reporting framework regarding the Capabilities Program. By adopting a results-based planning and management structure, the Department is now able to make linkages between internal planning, resource allocation, and desired results. This will allow the Department to enhance its resource allocation and strategic decision-making capabilities, and to better communicate to Canadians the value of the Department and the Canadian Forces. The PRAS provides a strategic-level view of the Department in terms of the Defence Mission, its internal business line divisions (the Capability Programs) and the Key Results to be achieved.
