Other Information:

The Administration’s commitment to an unprecedented level of openness in Government establishes a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Treasury embraces these three pillars of the Open Government Initiative as furthering the Department’s mission, vision, values, and goals. Treasury continuously strives to maintain the public trust and confidence and, in this vein, welcomes this and acknowledges that: * Transparency promotes accountability by providing the public with access to information on Government operations and activities. * Participation invites members of the public to contribute and influence Government policies and functions, so Government can more readily represent the voice of the people. * Collaboration encourages cooperation between agencies, across levels of Government, and between the public and private sectors.
