Join Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service Budget Appropriation and Analysis experts on Wednesday, September 15, for a two-part webinar event to learn about the new features and functionality in CARS. This is a great opportunity for CARS users to see the new Year-End Transaction Module (YETM), learn about new standardized forms, and preview the new email "Opt-In" features.

Session #1: 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM EST

Save Time with New CARS Notifications and Standardized Forms

Join CARS experts for a demo:

• New email "Opt-In" feature allows CARS users immediate and tailored email notifications as soon as transactions post in CARS.
