# Executive Summary 

*<The executive summary should provide an overview of the overall implementation plan at the Department/Agency/Independent Commission level.

# Background 

## G-Invoicing Background 

*<This is standard language and does not require modification>*

Government Invoicing (G-Invoicing) is the long-term sustainable solution to improve the quality of Intragovernmental Transactions (IGT) Buy/Sell data in support of more accurate financial management by Federal Trading Partners. G-Invoicing will address current Buy/Sell accounting and reporting challenges by providing a common platform for brokering all IGT Buy/Sell activity, implementing a Federal IGT Buy/Sell Data Standard, and providing transparent access to a common data repository of brokered transactions.  

Fiscal Service is providing this solution in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3512(b) and 3513, which state the Secretary of the Treasury may develop an effective and coordinated system of accounting and financial reporting that integrates Treasury’s accounting results and acts as the operating center for consolidating Treasury’s results with those of other executive agencies.  G-Invoicing adoption is required by all Federal Program Agencies (FPAs) by June 30, 2021.
