Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) was signed Sept. 26, 2006. The intent is to empower every American with the ability to hold the government accountable for each spending decision. The end result is to reduce wasteful spending in the government. The FFATA legislation requires information on federal awards (federal financial assistance and expenditures) be made available to the public via a single, searchable website.
