What we do

  • Help federal agencies report accurate, current financial information using uniform accounting and reporting standards
  • Monitor the government's financial assets and liabilities through centralized accounting and reporting
  • Publish reports of the government's financial information to help set fiscal and debt management policies and to inform the public about how the government is collecting and spending money
  • Assure the continuous exchange of financial information among federal agencies, the Office of Management and Budget, and financial institutions
  • Provide support to all federal government agencies with respect to funding levels, appropriations, provisions and public laws passed by Congress
  • Develop and maintain the systems that agencies use to report their financial information
  • Work continually to modernize systems so they are more effective, efficient, useful, and usable
