Response from Dorothy Gilbert, Auditor General’s Office 12/2/2013
Questions for the Subject Matter Experts
Regarding your current website:
 When did you start your transparency website?
Our Web site was first brought on-line around 1996.
 Who is the target audience?
Our Web site was initiated to provide the public with an alternative manner in which to receive our audit reports
(alternative to e-mail or hard copy).
 Why did you start your transparency website and why is it important to your audience?
See answer above.
 Where is the source of the data?
Our Web site contains our published audit reports and the reports issued to local entities by local CPAs within
Florida (“e-Filed” with our Office).
 Do you correlate the data you receive?
These are audit reports, not data.
 Do you enhance, enrich, clean or limit the data in any way?
See answer above.
 Is the data real time, or is it refreshed? How often?
No. No. See above.
Regarding the future:
 What would you do differently if you were to start today?
Our Web site meets our needs. It provides access to audit reports. It does not provide data.
 What would you like to see in a consolidated system?
I do not think this would apply to our content.
 Are there any limitations to your ability to achieve what you’d like to see (ie. statutory changes,etc)?
See answer above.
