Transparent State and Local Financial Reporting: The Case for an Open Data CAFR

 

DOWNLOAD REPORT »


The Data Foundation and Workiva have teamed up to publish Transparent State and Local Financial Reporting: The Case for an Open Data CAFR. 

The report explores why state and local Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) should be submitted and published as open data. The paper summarizes the steps necessary to create an infrastructure for open data CAFRs, addresses potential objections and challenges, and outlines the impact of currently-pending federal reforms. 

The report recommends moving away from documents-based CAFR submissions and toward an open data submission.
