City Spending

All City spending is recorded using the City of Cincinnati Financial System (CFS) which stores city-wide data on all financial related activities. This dashboard allows the user to select a fiscal year from 2015 to present and it will visualize a high level overview of city spending by department, expense category, object code (the most granular descriptor of expense type), month, fund. These attributes explain who (Department/agency) made expenditures; how the The City of Cincinnati operations on a July through June fiscal year cycle (rather than a calendar fiscal year), and uses the later calendar year to denote fiscal year (so, FY 2018 starts in July 2017 and goes through June 2018).
