Reporting Transparency in Government Website
Welcome to California’s site dedicated to transparency. Governor Schwarzenegger recognizes the importance of making data available to its citizens. Governor Schwarzenegger also believes these data should be easily accessible and easy to view. |
To ensure a higher level of transparency than required by law, on March 6, 2009, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger issued a memorandum to all Governor's Staff, all Agency Secretaries and all Department Directors directing them to make publicly available on the Governor's web site the Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700, and the Travel Expense claims for the Governor's Office Senior Staff and Deputies, Agency Secretaries, Agency Undersecretaries and Department Directors. This site will increase the transparency of Governor Schwarzenegger's administration by making information regarding Statement of Economic Interests, Form 700 and Travel Expense Claim Forms readily available to the public.
In June 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger required the posting of External and Internal Audits. For the first time, these audits are available for review in a single place. This transparency site also includes a link to the original external agency which conducted the audit. In addition the site includes all awarded contracts valued at $5,000 or more dating to March 2009.
