Improving Accountability for Federal Assistance   New

The 2024 Uniform Guidance, 2025 OMB Memo M-25-30, and related executive and regulatory actions collectively advance the goal of improving transparency and accountability in federal grants. These initiatives simplify administrative processes, raise audit thresholds, and increase flexibility for recipients while preserving rigorous oversight. By integrating audit findings into program management and focusing on root-cause analysis, the government aims to prevent waste and strengthen fiscal responsibility. Enhanced guidance for auditors and agencies promotes collaboration and accountability, ensuring that federal financial assistance is managed efficiently, ethically, and in the public interest.
