This law lists the purposes of the National Academy of Public Administration. It studies and evaluates government performance, examines emerging governance issues, and advises on relationships between levels of government. It also commits to high standards of ethics and scholarship in its own work.

The corporation's purposes come from its articles of incorporation. They include: (1) Evaluating the structure, administration, operation, and program performance of Federal and other governments and government agencies. This means anticipating, identifying, and analyzing significant problems, and suggesting timely corrective action. (2) Looking ahead at, and examining, critical emerging issues in governance, and formulating practical ways to resolve them. (3) Assessing how effective, well-structured, and well-run present or proposed public programs, policies, and processes are, and what they mean for governance — and recommending specific changes. (4) Advising on how Federal, State, regional, and local governments relate to each other. This includes increasing public officials', citizens', and scholars' understanding of what sound governance requires and offers, and how these can be effectively met. (5) Demonstrating, by how it conducts its own affairs, a commitment to the highest professional standards of ethics and scholarship.
