Grant Accountability and Transparency Act

The Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) is a law that ensures government grants are awarded and managed responsibly. It requires strict rules for applying, approving, and monitoring grants to promote fairness, prevent fraud, and maximize the effective use of public funds. GATA standardizes processes across agencies, making grant activities more transparent and accountable. Essentially, it helps ensure that taxpayer money allocated for grants is used effectively and that grant processes are open and fair to all applicants.
