Governmentwide Accounting
Fiscal Accounting at the Bureau of the Fiscal Service gathers and reports on the U.S. government's finances.
How Governmentwide Accounting Works
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
