The Division of Finance is relaunching one of Alaska's best tools for government transparency, Checkbook Online.

After inaccuracies and flawed data were discovered on the previous iteration of the checkbook, the Division took on the task of resolving errors and removing the need for human intervention.

Transparency into financial transactions is key to having an accountable and limited government, which has always been a goal of the Department of Administration.

The version that is published today is similar to the past version, with accurate data and adhering to strict confidentiality standards. The division is currently in the process of upgrading the Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS) which is the backbone of the state's accounting system. Once the upgrade concludes, we look forward to additional enhancements to the Checkbook Online.

Updated reports can be found on the Checkbook Online and Payment Detail Report webpages.
