Governments at all levels strive to be transparent with their spending, yet many government financial reports are too complex for the average citizen.
AGA’s Citizen-Centric Reporting (CCR) aims to help simplify communication between government and its citizens, who have a right to accurate information about the way their taxpayer dollars are spent.
AGA believes CCRs will help citizens better understand the services provided by their government — and at what cost. In today’s era of tight budgets, tough choices are being made.
