SPOKANE ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL

Tools to Examine Government Spending: Where Do Your Tax Dollars Go?   

This presentation will demonstrate the use of the free tools available from the Truth in Accounting (TIA) Project at the University of Denver. This includes Data-Z.org, a data aggregation website that has over 700 data sets available to customize charts and graphs. These can be used as simple data analysis tools for any profession. Audience members will choose data sets that serve their profession and will see the data come to life during the presentation.

TIA also produces annual State of the States, State of the Cities and State of the Federal Government reports based on data research and analysis of Annual Comprehensive Financial Reports. Participants will be shown the financial status of their government in comparison to other states.  

Finally, participants will learn of the Financial Transparency Data Act which was passed by Congress in December 2022. This legislation is the beginning of a monumental shift in government reporting, like the XBRL /SEC movement in 2009. The demonstration will illustrate the ease of using public SEC reports and how this will be implemented in governmental reporting to create more transparency in how governments spend our tax dollars.
