All City of Cincinnati expenses are recorded using the City of Cincinnati Financial System (CFS) software, which stores city-wide data on all financial transactions. The Office of Budget and Evaluation and the Department of Finance maintain the data that is collected through the CFS. More information on those departments can be found at their City website.

This dashboard allows the user to select a fiscal year from 2019 to present and it will visualize a high level overview of city spending by department, object code (the most granular descriptor of expense type), month, fund, and category.
