The Department of the Treasury’s FY 2021 Conference Spending Report

In FY 2021, the Treasury Department continued initiatives to oversee conference spending and 

to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, and controls were in place to that end. The 

Department’s bureaus continue to follow the Treasury-wide Directive that consolidates and 

streamlines the conference approval and reporting process and establishes consistent policy for 

all conference-related activities. The Assistant Secretary for Management, Deputy Secretary, 

and Secretary have reviewed all conference-related spending as appropriate per policy, and all 

bureaus have followed established internal policies to ensure that all conference-related activity 

adhered to appropriate guidelines. 

Treasury Department policy allows expenses for conferences only if they are necessary to carry 

out Treasury’s mission and are consistent with specific approval guidelines. In FY 2021, the 

Treasury Department sponsored meetings and training events to promote economic stability and 

growth, to strengthen and protect the integrity of the financial system, and to manage the U.S. 

government’s finances. 

In accordance with OMB Memorandum M-17-08, below is detail on the Treasury-sponsored 

conferences in FY 2021 where the net expenses to the Department exceeded $100,000. This 

report does not cover conferences sponsored by the Treasury Office of the Inspector General, the 

Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, the Special Inspector General for the 

Treasury Asset Relief Program, Special Inspector General for Pandemic Relief, or the Office of 

the Comptroller of the Currency.
