黑料不打烊 Will Monitor Implementation to Protect Contractors from Baseless Fraud Claims
On June 13, Vice President Joe Biden announced the launch of a government wide "Campaign to Cut Government Waste."
The plan, detailed in an signed聽by President Obama on June 13, describes the campaigns two key initiatives:
- The creation of a new Oversight and Accountability Board; and
- Regular聽Cabinet meetings to report progress to the Vice President
- Establishing a universal standard of recipient reporting for money received from the federal government directly to an independent database. This has widely been credited as the key to the success of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board in catching and preventing fraud, waste, and abuse in stimulus spending.
- Collecting all agency expenditure data and combining it with the recipient reported data. This will allow agencies, Congress, and citizen watchdogs to discover waste and inefficiency in government and expose systematic financial management problems that lead to improper payments.
- Creating a permanent successor to the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board, the body established by the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act to ensure transparency, and giving that board similar powers to ensure all federal spending is transparent to the public. The new board is designated as the Federal Accountability and Spending Transparency Board (FAST Board).
- Directing the new FAST Board to establish common identifiers and consistent reporting standards for all federally collected data.
