  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).
