SAO FIT tool adds ability to project data into the future

Contact: Candice Bock, Maggie Douglas

The State Auditor's Office (SAO) recently added a new feature to their Financial Intelligence Tool (FIT) to project data into the future.

The FIT tool is often used by local governments to access public financial data and evaluate the financial health of a jurisdiction (or any combination of jurisdictions). The recent update allows local governments to project data into the future—enhancing the local government’s ability to create data-informed financial plans. Most notably, FIT users can modify projections based on any scenario they may think of (i.e. toggling salary increases, sales tax revenue stagnation, increasing capital projects).
