Why does the information differ from what appears in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) or Texas Annual Cash Report?
The Where the Money Goes database contains information about a payment at the time it was made. It does not take into account the accounting treatment of expenditure information in preparation for official presentation. The CAFR is shown on an accrual rather than cash basis and includes adjustments to reflect generally accepted accounting principles reporting requirements. In the case of the Cash Report, the database does not reflect all the correcting transactions that are included in that publication.
