Chief Financial Officers Council

The Chief Financial Officers Council (CFOC) was established by the Chief Financial Officers (CFO) Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576) and is composed of the CFOs and Deputy CFOs of the 24 largest federal departments and agencies, along with senior officials from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the Department of the Treasury. The Council works collaboratively to improve federal financial management through shared guidance, working groups, and inter-agency standards. While the CFO Council itself does not operate a developer API program, its remit is closely tied to the larger ecosystem of federal financial management data and APIs administered by Treasury (USAspending.gov, Fiscal Service), OMB (PaymentAccuracy.gov, MAX.gov), and GSA (Performance.gov, SAM.gov).

Chief Financial Officers Council publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Agencies API, Awards API, Downloads API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Federal Financial Management, Federal Government, Finance, Government, and OMB.

Chief Financial Officers Council’s developer surface includes product news and 17 more developer resources.
