Welcome to the State of Rhode Island's Transparency Portal!

This website provides two methods to track government spending. The first is the RIPAY website; this allows users to search for expenditures by vendor. The second method is the Open Government expenditure search; this provides the ability to review spending in the context of expenditure classifications. The data presented for each method is updated weekly from the State accounting system and is presented in a user-friendly format.

The information on RIPAY has existed for several years and relates to all State agencies. At this time, the open government expenditure search is applicable only to the agencies listed below. In the near future, expenditures for other State agencies will be available.

Along with our partners in the Treasurer's Office and RI.gov, we will continue to identify opportunities to expand the website and enhance reporting. If you have any questions or suggestions how this website might be improved, please feel free to contact the State Controller's Office at AcctControl@gw.doa.state.ri.us.
