The federal government obligates over one trillion dollars in Federal financial assistance funds annually that support thousands of critical programs that support our nation’s infrastructure, health, education, security, and more. Improving the quality of program results and transparently communicating to the American public how taxpayer funds are spent to achieve our shared goals continues to be an important goal of the administration. Recent OMB guidance has built on recent progress in the important areas of Program Planning, Design, and Execution; Managing Risk in Program Design; Public Reporting of Financial and Award Data Post-Award Data and Reporting. Improved program design and implementation of Federal financial assistance is critical to achieving successful program and financial results for the American people.

It means ensuring that the federal government is not only responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars, but frugal stewards as well, looking for every opportunity to save money and create greater efficiencies.
+The federal government has come a long way since the passage of the CFO Act in 1990. Today, the federal financial management community is focused on three important improvement initiatives:
+Optimize the federal real property portfolio to achieve agencies' missions, demonstrate stewardship, and manage costs through the implementation of capital and strategic planning, deployment of standard business processes and data standards, legislative reform, and the development and use of detailed budget and expenditure data.
+A lack of standard data definitions and business processes and limited financial transparency makes it difficult for government-wide initiatives to optimize the real property portfolio, to acquire necessary capital, and make timely decisions. Current processes do not support the implementation of a consistent strategy across the whole of government. Other challenges - the structure of the federal budget process, legislative requirements, and others - magnify the challenge.
+Establish capital planning, embedded in a national strategy, to guide real property investment and implement government-wide strategies to optimize the portfolio. By fully identifying opportunities to reinvest in the portfolio through a standard government-wide planning process, the portfolio can be optimized to cost-efficiently support agencies' mission attainment. Leveraging the Federal Assets Sale and Transfer Act and Federal Property Management Reform Act can assist this effort. Optimizing the federal real estate portfolio will allow for better delivery of federal program results.

The law provides over $1.2 trillion in critical funding allocated to over 350 distinct programs across more than a dozen federal departments and agencies.

The CFO community plays a significant role in implementation, by managing and updating financial and grant managements processes, controls and systems and implementing strategies to mitigate risks to ensure that public dollars are invested efficiently, equitably and transparently.
+In this regard, agency CFOs are expected to ensure that their agencies adhere to existing Government-wide reporting requirements as established by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act, as amended by the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act.
