				<title>Gerard changed the description of the group Budget, Accountability and Transparency Working Group from "This working group examines how blockchain technologies can be used to manage government budgets, help perform accounting functions, and provide transparency to their citizens.

GBA Members: Log into the website and go to https://gbaglobal.org/events/budget-accountability-transparency-working-group for meeting details." to "The Budget, Accountability &#38; Transparency (BAT) Working Group meets weekly to collaborate on advancing innovative solutions to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse in government systems.

This working group brings together government officials, industry experts, technologists, and policy leaders to explore how emerging technologies, particularly blockchain can modernize public sector financial management and strengthen trust in government operations. The activities of the group include:

 	Discuss current challenges in government budgeting, auditing, and oversight
 	Share insights on blockchain, smart contracts, and digital identity applications
 	Review ongoing initiatives, research, and pilot projects
 	Collaborate on frameworks, standards, and policy recommendations
 	Contribute to thought leadership, including reports and briefings for policymakers

The BAT Working Group plays a key role in developing practical, scalable approaches to improve transparency and accountability across federal, state, and local governments. Its work has contributed to high-level policy discussions, including efforts supporting national initiatives to combat fraud.

Whether you are new to blockchain or actively implementing solutions, this working group offers a collaborative environment to learn, contribute, and help shape the future of accountable government systems.



Meeting Details:
