IT Spend -a tip from our government
The new administration likes to get information out into the open and it loves to do so over the web. This new dashboard based site gives us a view on how the government is spending money on all things technology related.
I find my conversations with CPA firms on the topic of their IT budget intriguing. Whats the intriguing part ? They don’t have a budget!! The government has found that in order to cut costs you have to know what costs are – hence the need for a budget and a system to track expenses. It is truly a rare occasion that a CPA can get a tip from the government on how manage $.

**btw I should add (thanks to Dan’s comment): They seem to at least track IT spend, or put forth the effort – now do they actually save the money? Not thinking that is the case…that’s where CPAs may have wisdom to apply what’s learned from the exercise.
