Through our planning, execution and delivery of in-depth surveys with federal, state and local governments,
Grant Thornton provides a mechanism for executives and senior staff across government and nongovernmental organizations to share their challenges and provide feedback to shape the thinking of the
industry
• Each year for the past 23 years TechAmerica and Grant
Thornton survey federal Chief Information Officers,
Deputies and IT leaders on issues most affecting the
community
• Grant Thornton works with the Association of
Government Accountants (AGA) to produce the annual
Chief Financial Officer survey, comprising input from more
than 300 federal CFOs
• Annually, the American Society of Military Comptrollers
(ASMC) and Grant Thornton present a survey of Defense
Financial Management Executives – the survey includes
the 35 most senior financial management executives and
