Conversely, as depicted in Figure 24, 110 reporting entities (44%) said they lack formal, written policies and procedures for processing and resolving complaints filed in relation to Section 508 non-conformance issues. This breaks down to 40 reporting entities (16%) that have no established policies, procedures, or processes, 51 reporting entities (20%) that manage Section 508-related complaints only on an ad hoc basis but have a plan to establish formal policies and procedures, and 19 reporting entities (8%) that did not know the status of a policy, procedure or process for handling Section 508 complaints.

With heavy reliance on solely automated testing for public web pages, there is risk of inflation of conformance scores due to the inability of automated tools to comprehensively test for all Section 508 requirements. Automated testing omits of over half of the Section 508 requirements, and fewer requirements tested means fewer chances for failure. However, reporting entities’ data nevertheless indicate similar levels of conformance with intranet pages, which tend to incorporate more manual inspection along with automated testing.

It assesses the reporting entity’s responses to the criteria within 9 maturity dimensions (Q29-Q66 See FY24 Data Dictionary (XLSX))). These questions cover different aspects of their Section 508 Program or equivalent as well as accessibility-related activities across the organization. Business function maturity, or “maturity,” is evaluated by the maturity index or “m-index” and utilizes a scale ranging from 0 to 5, with 0 indicating a very low maturity level and 5 indicating a very high maturity level.

## Regression Analysis
-Regression analysis helps explore the relationships between independent variables and Section 508 compliance outcomes. For FY24, we conducted 22 regressions (XLSX) using both simple and multivariable models to explore which criteria, and to what extent, drive Section 508 program maturity and conformance. However, none of these regressions resulted in both a p-value below the threshold for statistical significance (0.05) and a high R² value (above 0.75). This suggests that while the models captured relevant factors, other dynamics such as data quality issues persist or may have compounded, hindering efforts to isolate the specific drivers of Section 508 compliance.

Similar to last year, we still see a varied approach to verifying contract deliverables that are required to be Section 508 conformant. There was a reported increase this year in the number of entities who almost always verify digital accessibility requirements prior to acceptance, with 58 entities or 23.7% compared to 39 entities or 16% in FY23 selecting this response. However, 109 entities, or 46.6%, sometimes or never verify the accessibility of contract deliverables. **While this is a slight decrease compared to FY23** when 53% of entities reported an inconsistent verification approach, **this is still a very high percentage of entities who are accepting contract deliverables without knowing if they meet the contractual requirements for digital accessibility**.

Similar to last year, we still see a varied approach to verifying contract deliverables that are required to be Section 508 conformant. There was a reported increase this year in the number of entities who almost always verify digital accessibility requirements prior to acceptance, with 58 entities or 23.7% compared to 39 entities or 16% in FY23 selecting this response. However, 109 entities, or 46.6%, sometimes or never verify the accessibility of contract deliverables. **While this is a slight decrease compared to FY23** when 53% of entities reported an inconsistent verification approach, **this is still a very high percentage of entities who are accepting contract deliverables without knowing if they meet the contractual requirements for digital accessibility**.

GSA combined the reporting entities' self-reported responses to get one estimate of a reporting entity's overall performance. Like last year, the maturity and conformance indices -- based solely on the assessment responses -- provide a comprehensive and quantitative assessment of Section 508 compliance across the federal government. The business function maturity index, referred to as "maturity" or "m-index," quantified reporting entity responses to criteria across nine dimensions with equal weighting of each criteria. The operational conformance matrix, referred to as "conformance" or "c-index," quantified 16 specific criteria in the Conformance dimension to assess how well reporting entities performed with respect to Section 508 implementation. The indices are on a 5-point scale, from zero to five. These indices are fully described in [Appendix B: Methods, Descriptive Analysis]({{site.baseurl}}/manage/section-508-assessment/2024/appendix-b-methods/).

The Assessment shows improvements in reporting entities’ Section 508 programs, specifically in the status, influence, and resourcing. Respondents reported a 135% increase in Section 508 programs that are widely known, relied upon, and have decision making authority. 40 entities selected this option in FY24 compared to only 17 in FY23. Furthermore, the YOY difference indicates an improvement in the available Section 508 resources such as training, tools, staff support, etc. In FY23, half of the reporting entities noted that while they did identify resource needs, the ones provided or available were insufficient to support the needs of the Section 508 program’s or equivalent. This improved in FY24 by a moderate, meaningful increase (WRST: extremely statistically significant), with half of the reporting entities (from 1% to 59%) indicating some resource needs are met. At the same time, we observed a 20% YOY improvement in the number of entities who stated they have no formal Section 508 program or that the program was in development, with 39% of entities selecting these options in FY24 compared to 48% in FY23.

Following a FY23 Assessment recommendation for entities to increase inclusion of users with disabilities throughout the technology lifecycle, criteria continued to survey how the needs of individuals with disabilities are included during assessment of ICT-related business needs or equivalent acquisition planning process. The responses indicate a moderate, meaningful YOY increase (WRST: extremely statistically significant) and showed improvement with 75% fewer entities reporting that needs are not considered and almost 22% fewer entities noted that needs are sometimes considered but generally on an ad hoc basis. In addition, **56% more entities noted that needs are frequently considered and 72% more entities reported that needs are integrated into the business process and are almost always included**.

The number of reporting entities with 90% or more conformance for ICT products increased , which suggests that while some ICT products may still have some accessibility issues, they may be close to fully conformant. The highest conformance percentage was still the publicly posted Section 508 policy at 61.2% of entities who conform to 90% or more of the standards followed closely again by enterprise-wide chat or real-time messaging system at 60.8% of entities. However, the lowest conforming category was surveys released by entities, with only 27.8% of reporting entities noting conformance with 90% or more of standards.

GSA combined the reporting entities' self-reported responses to get one estimate of a reporting entity's overall performance. Like last year, the maturity and conformance indices -- based solely on the assessment responses -- provide a comprehensive and quantitative assessment of Section 508 compliance across the federal government. The business function maturity index, referred to as "maturity" or "m-index," quantified reporting entity responses to criteria across nine dimensions with equal weighting of each criteria. The operational conformance matrix, referred to as "conformance" or "c-index," quantified 16 specific criteria in the Conformance dimension to assess how well reporting entities performed with respect to Section 508 implementation. The indices are on a 5-point scale, from zero to five. These indices are fully described in [Appendix B: Methods, Descriptive Analysis]({{site.baseurl}}/manage/section-508-assessment/2024/appendix-b-methods/).

The Assessment shows improvements in reporting entities’ Section 508 programs, specifically in the status, influence, and resourcing. Respondents reported a 135% increase in Section 508 programs that are widely known, relied upon, and have decision making authority. 40 entities selected this option in FY24 compared to only 17 in FY23. Furthermore, the YOY difference indicates an improvement in the available Section 508 resources such as training, tools, staff support, etc. In FY23, half of the reporting entities noted that while they did identify resource needs, the ones provided or available were insufficient to support the needs of the Section 508 program’s or equivalent. This improved in FY24 by a moderate, meaningful increase (WRST: extremely statistically significant), with half of the reporting entities (from 1% to 59%) indicating some resource needs are met. At the same time, we observed a 20% YOY improvement in the number of entities who stated they have no formal Section 508 program or that the program was in development, with 39% of entities selecting these options in FY24 compared to 48% in FY23.

OMB, in close coordination with GSA, the Access Board, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the Department of Justice (DOJ), refined the assessment criteria from the previous year, incorporating feedback from agencies to thoroughly and efficiently evaluate reporting entity Section 508 compliance. For a complete list of changes, please reference the crosswalk between FY23 and FY24 criteria. GSA also refined additional context for understanding the criteria, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), and defining terms to help reporting entities collect accurate data for the Assessment.

OMB deferred to departments and agencies to define how they would report: individually, by organizational unit or "reporting entity," or as a component of a larger parent agency. Reporting entities then designated a point of contact for the Assessment. GSA referenced and maintained, at the direction of OMB, a list of reporting entities and information for each point of contact.

As with FY23, no data was excluded from analysis regardless of data validation outcomes for FY24. However, before conducting the 40 validation tests, GSA carried out a preliminary review to identify and address data discrepancies that would skew descriptive statistics related to conformance. This process included direct engagement with reporting entities to correct invalid data, which was undertaken in FY23. Specific discrepancies addressed during this preliminary review included:
