Understanding the Financial Data Transparency Act

This webinar took place on Aug. 9, 2023.

The federal government passed new financial data standards in 2022 known as the Financial Data Transparency Act. This will change how many cities report financial information in the future. Local officials will need to make financial data machine-readable — digital data that is easily searchable, sortable, and downloadable. Join city officials to learn about this new law, the ins and outs of machine-readable data, best practices, timelines, and potential impacts to your city.
