1: Federal Spending

Other Information:

The session on federal spending oversight came up with one overriding goal to promote data standardization in federal spending: require the use of consistent codes across government. There were suggestions to create a new body, such as a public advisory committee, to provide input on common data standards for spending. Participants also proposed that detailed data on payments to vendors should be released to the public. The DATA Act would mandate these reforms, and more.
