Q&A: Mark Forman and Jeff Steinhoff on the future of federal financial management

Federal financial management is poised to undergo a new wave of transformation, say former information technology and financial management federal officials.

Forman headed the office of e-government and information technology at the Office of Management and Budget from mid 2001 through mid 2003. Steinhoff ended his government career in 2008 after lastly serving as the Government Accountability Office's managing director for financial management and assurance, and assistant comptroller general for accounting and information management.
