Federal Agency Performance Act: Improving Government Accountability and Transparency.
This Act aims to boost accountability and performance across federal agencies by mandating annual reviews of progress toward strategic goals. Citizens will benefit from greater transparency regarding how the government spends money and whether it achieves its stated objectives, as agencies must publish more detailed and timely performance information online. These changes are designed to result in a more efficient administration and better use of public funds.
