Ann Arbor’s Finances Now an A2OpenBook

By

At the Ann Arbor city council’s Sept. 19, 2011 meeting, city CFO Tom Crawford announced the launch of A2OpenBook, an online tool that residents can use to follow the city’s revenues and expenditures. The information on the system is refreshed daily from the city’s LOGOS financial system.

The online system allows users to look at expenses and revenues by service area, by fund and by expense type. The information is download-able in MS Excel format so that users can search for and manipulate data as desired. Information is available for expenses beginning July 1, 2010 through today – data is updated daily.

There’s a possibility that P-Card data might be added in a second phase of the project.

This brief was filed from the city council’s chambers on the second floor of city hall, located at 301 E. Huron. A more detailed report will follow: [link]
