FFATA • Federal Funding Accountability & Transparency Act (FFATA) of 2006
set specific reporting requirements for federal awards (e.g., contracts, grants, loans) at the prime and sub-tier levels – OMB issued policy for reporting the required data based on existing
requirements for FAADS (grants) and FPDS (contracts) – USASpending.gov established to be the central display
• FFATA amended in 2008 to require additional elements be reported regarding executive compensation – Collected via System for Award Management registrations
• Federal Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) developed to collect subaward information
2017 Procure-to-Pay Training Symposium 2
What Happened Next • Recovery Act of 2009 used the data collected by FFATA as a baseline and
established additional reporting requirements to track the Act’s appropriations – Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board (RATB) put in place to provide
transparency of Recovery money and root out fraud and mismanagement of the funds • Government Accountability and Transparency Board (GATB) established in 2011 to
follow RATB and provide strategic direction for enhancing the transparency of Federal spending
• The Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act) amended FFATA in 2012 – Department of Treasury identified as the lead organization – Established additional financial reporting requirements – Established requirement for pilots to reduce the reporting burden on award recipients
• GATB served as initial governance group to assist DATA act implementation – Recommended establishing a standard unique award identifier – Chartered HHS/DoD to review contracts / grants data for standardization opportunities – Became the basis for DATA Act specifications for procurement and grants data elements
