Year: 2018

In September 2017, as part of its ongoing effort to provide transparent payment information to the community, employees, and County vendors in an efficient manner, the Travis County Auditor’s Office implemented an online Vendor Payment Register application (VPR), along with a companion application, Vendor Payment Details (VPD), which provides detailed financial information regarding payments. VPR and VPD are available on the Travis County website at https://financialtransparency.traviscountytx.gov/. These applications, accessible with any Internet browser, provide payment data from the County’s financial system in an intuitive and interactive format that is searchable and exportable. Data is easy to view in tabular format that has been designed for a lay person. It has resulted in expanded public outreach and engagement, and improved customer service with information that is easily accessible online and that is updated daily for accountability and transparency.
