Nevada Controller Andy Matthews recently launched the Nevada Open Finance Portal, a website that provides detailed, up-to-date information on state spending.
The website, located at https://checkbook.nv.gov, features data on the state checkbook, budget, payroll, and pension disbursements, and was created through a collaborative effort between the Controller’s Office and the administration of Gov. Joe Lombardo.
“The Nevada Open Finance Portal is an unprecedented tool in my administration’s efforts to bring accountability and integrity to state government,” Lombardo said in a news release. “Controller Matthews and his team have worked diligently to provide this transparent resource for Nevada taxpayers, and I’m proud of their work to increase understanding of the state budget process.”

“Nevadans deserve to know how and where their government is spending their hard-earned tax dollars,” Matthews said in the release. “Policymakers can debate in good faith over the proper size and scope of government, but we should all be able to agree on the need for open government. This website will help hold Nevada’s public officials accountable to the people they serve, and I’m honored to have been able to lead on this critical issue.”
