Mission Statement: To promote accountability by coordinating and conducting oversight of  Recovery funds to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and to foster transparency on Recovery spending  by providing the public with accurate, user-friendly information.

The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board is the watchdog for the American public on the use of Recovery Act funds. Earl E. Devaney, appointed by the President, serves as Board chairman. The Board also includes 12 federal Inspectors General from various government agencies. Created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Board has two principal goals: to prevent and detect waste, fraud and mismanagement, and to provide the American people with extraordinary transparency on how Recovery Act funds are being used by states, local governments, and private recipients.

The Board will issue quarterly and annual reports on its oversight findings and provide advice to government agencies. When a matter requires immediate attention, the Board will send “flash reports” to the President and Congress. The Board also maintains Recovery.gov, which provides information on agency plans and programs and disbursements around the country. Beginning in October, reports from recipients of Recovery funds will be posted on Recovery.gov.

The Board also works with 29 Inspectors General from 28 federal agencies involved in Recovery project spending to identify risk factors that can help minimize fraud, waste, and abuse.
