F4: Strategic Goal F4
Manage the U.S. Government’s Finances Effectively Other Information:
As the primary fiscal agent for the Federal Government, Treasury manages the Nation’s finances by collecting money due the
United States, making its payments, managing its borrowing, performing central accounting functions, and producing coins and
currency to meet demand. The Department of the Treasury serves as the primary federal tax collecting agent and collector of
revenue on regulated commodities. Treasury oversees, accounts for, and reports on government collections and expenditures,
is the chief disburser of federal payments, and collects delinquent federal debt government-wide. The Department determines
and executes the federal borrowing strategy to meet the monetary needs of the Government at the lowest possible cost. The
goal of all these activities is to provide the American public with cost-effective, efficient, and secure management of federal
finances, while employing modern technology and providing quality customer- centered service.
