TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Tyco International Ltd. will pay the Securities and Exchange Commission a $50 million civil penalty to settle allegations the high-tech conglomerate's previous management violated securities laws, cooked the books and overstated financial results by at least $1 billion.
Under the proposed settlement, filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the SEC's enforcement division will decide how to distribute the $50 million to harmed investors, rather than the government keeping it all, said James Coffman, assistant director of the division. He said his division is still investigating other people who may have been involved in the fraud.

Integrating performance and results with decision-making for budget resources has long been a goal in the US federal government. Recently, the Bush Administration made a focus on performance the centerpiece of the Pres' Management Agenda, placing pressure on budget offices to produce more detailed budgets, capital investment business cases and performance data in the form of program outputs and outcomes. The book "Integrating Performance and Budgets" examines how performance budgeting can help enhance government's capacity to assess competing claims for taxpayer dollars by arming decision-makers with better information on both the results of individual programs as well as on entire portfolios of policies, programs, and other tools designed to address common goals.
