Federal Information Quality Act

The Federal Information Quality Act (F IQA), enacted in 2001, aims to ensure the quality, objectivity, utility, and integrity of information disseminated by federal agencies. It mandates that government information is accurate and reliable, allowing the public to challenge and seek corrections for misleading or flawed information. By promoting transparency and accountability, the act helps to enhance public trust in federal data and decisions, ensuring that policies and actions are based on credible information. Overall, it's about maintaining high standards for the information the government shares with the public.
