The General Accounting Office is pleased to announce an audio conference dealing with the implementation of the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act).  This audio conference, entitled “DATA Act Implementation,” will be presented by the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) and hosted by the GAO.

The DATA Act will have a significant impact on federal agencies and all those who receive federal funds.  

Sponsored by a number of national organizations representing a broad-cross section of DATA Act stakeholders, the webinar will feature federal leaders responsible for the Act's implementation.  Hear from OMB Controller Dave Mader and Treasury Fiscal Assistant Secretary David Lebryk about plans for implementing this important legislation.  

Participants will learn about the federal government's approach to setting the required data element definition standards.

This audio conference offers important information to almost everyone in the accountability profession. Please share this program announcement with others in your agency. Please be advised that this presentation may have limited interest and applicability to some State agencies.  Attendance is voluntary.
