The Office of Management and Budget has been working to speed up payments between prime contractors and small-business subcontractors, Federal Computer Week reports.

OMB will be issuing two reports, one in six months and the other in a year in an effort to measure progress on accelerating prompt payments.

In conjunction, the White House has also had government agencies working to pay small-business contractors in 15 instead of 30 days, according to Federal Computer Week.
