DATA CAPTURE:AMERICAN TRANSPARENCY CAPTURES RAW SPENDING DATA REPORTED BY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GOVERNMENT ENTITIES AND/OR OBTAINED IN RESPONSE TO FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUESTS. WE CLEAN, ORGANIZE, AND MAKE SEARCHABLE INFORMATION PRODUCED IN VARIOUS FORMATS, THEN UPLOAD IT TO OUR PROPRIETARY DATABASE, WHERE IT BECOMES SEARCHABLE AND TRACKABLE BY INTERNAL TEAMS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. THE DATA-CAPTURE FUNCTIONALITY, PAYMENT FOR STORAGE SPACE, AND UPKEEP OF THE DATA ARE ALL PURSUANT TO OUR MISSION: TO ADVOCATE FOR GOVERNMENT SPENDING TRANSPARENCY, MAKE ALL PUBLIC EXPENDITURES AVAILABLE ONLINE, AND EMPOWER TAXPAYERS TO HOLD PUBLIC OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE.

OVERSIGHT REPORTING:WE STAFF A TEAM OF DATA JOURNALISTS WHO USE BILLIONS OF SPENDING DATA POINTS TO REPORT INSTANCES OF WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE, AND TO ANALYZE LARGE-SCALE DATASETS THAT PROVIDE INSIGHT INTO THE RELATIVE EFFICACY OF SPENDING AND PUBLIC POLICY OUTCOMES. THESE EXPENSES INCLUDE COMPENSATION, MAINTENANCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND WEB PROPERTIES, MARKETING FUNCTIONS, INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS, AND FEES RELATED TO PUBLIC RECORDS REQUESTS. THE OVERSIGHT REPORTING CAPABILITY SERVES DUAL PURPOSES: DEMONSTRATING THE KINDS OF INSIGHTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC THROUGH OUR PROPRIETARY DATABASE OF PUBLIC SPENDING, AND DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE ORGANIZATION'S CORE TRANSPARENCY MISSION THROUGH INTERESTING AND PROVOCATIVE CASE STUDIES OR EXAMPLES OF WASTEFUL SPENDING.
