Transparency is about more than just releasing numbers to the public. Without context or structure, government finance data can be confusing and overwhelming. To address this, OpenGov has developed the concept of Managed Transparency, an approach centered on intuitive, visual presentations.
OpenGov takes the government chart of accounts and shows how money flows through the city, not just how it is stored in complex databases. Complete with educational content that helps simplify and explain government finance, Transparency helps citizens see the complete picture. Governments that
adopt Transparency have experienced a decline in information requests from the public.
