Citizens with improved access to state
financial records
The State of Colorado has upgraded its Transparency Online
Project (TOP) website, which provides the public with access to the
state government’s financial records. Colorado Interactive LLC.,
which works under a contract with the State Internet Portal
Authority (SIPA), partnered with the Department of Personnel &
Administration (DPA) and the Governor’s Office of Information
Technology (OIT) to upgrade the site, dramatically improving search
functionality.
“The upgrade of the Transparency Online Project website means
that Colorado citizens can now more easily access and search their
state government’s financial records,” said DPA Interim Executive
Director Kara Veitch. “We are proud to be able to provide
transparent access to this kind of detailed information, which
fosters added public trust and government accountability.”
The TOP website offers open access to Colorado’s financial
records and is the state’s official public finance resource. This
easy-to-use tool provides meaningful information about how the
state government utilizes public funds and where those funds come
from. The new site allows users to search financial records by
organization, vendor, funds, category or any combination of the
four.
The Transparency Online Project is intended to reduce the time
and cost associated with common records requests and maximizes
convenience for Colorado citizens in accessing state financial
information. It was initially created by an Executive Order of the
Governor in April 2009 and adopted into state statute by the
legislature in 2009.
“This project brings tremendous opportunity to connect state
government with the citizens it serves. It is exciting to see the
progress being made to create improved transparency into state
government,” said SIPA Executive Director Jack Arrowsmith.
Any information that is not available on the TOP website remains
available to the public in accordance with the Colorado Open
Records Act. The website contains data for fiscal year 2015, as
well as access to an archive of data from fiscal years
2009-2014.
