Welcome to LaTrac! I invite you to utilize this website to learn more about our state government and its spending procedures. I have advocated for transparent government, as I believe that the bright light of transparency and public access should extend to every corner of the state budget.

An honest government has nothing to fear from openness, and I hope you will use this site to ensure that your government is working for you, the people, and not special interests. We will continue to update and expand this site over the coming months, and thank you again for visiting LaTrac.

Welcome to Louisiana Transparency and Accountability (LaTrac). LaTrac's primary mission is to make Louisiana's state government finances, and operations transparent and accountable to Louisiana's citizens. Today, it is more critical than ever that governments function at the highest level of integrity and efficiency in order to fairly meet the needs of its people. Accordingly, it is a necessity that government operations be open and transparent to the public. LaTrac addresses this need, presenting key Louisiana finances and operations in a clear and concise format designed for ease of public use.

For a high-level overview of Louisiana’s finances for the year ending June 30, 2015, see the Popular Annual Financial Report.

Louisiana scored a top 5 ranking when the federation of state U.S. Public Interest Research Groups, U.S. PIRG, graded all 50 states on how well they provide online access to information about government spending.
