Executive Order 14243: Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos

President Biden’s Executive Order 14243, issued on March 20, 2025, calls for eliminating information silos across federal agencies to combat waste, fraud, and abuse. It mandates full access to unclassified records and inter-agency data sharing, especially for programs involving federal funds. The order prioritizes swift regulatory updates, directs agencies to reassess classification policies, and demands greater transparency from state-administered federal programs. This move signals a broader push toward data-driven accountability and cross-agency efficiency in government operations.
