The Association of Government Accountants (AGA) released a survey of public attitudes about government transparency and accountability. The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, revealed a "deep dissatisfaction among the American public with both the availability of government financial information and the way it is delivered to the people. Much of this dissatisfaction has to do with issues of trust and a gap between what the public expects and what is actually delivered. The survey also captured information relating to how the public would use fiscal information, were it provided to them in a usable form."

The survey was commissioned as part of AGA's flagship Advancing Government Accountability campaign, said the AGA on its Web site,  "which will educate government and the public on the benefits of increased government accountability and transparency and provide practical programs relating to the education of government financial managers and the reporting of government financial information."
