IT spending on the move towards greater transparency / Comment / ComNews

The Ministry of Digital Development will create a register of IT spending financed from the federal budget and the budgets of state extra-budgetary funds. At the moment it is possible to collect information on IT spending in various ways, but it will be incomplete.

Does something similar exist in other industries?

Olga Nechaeva, an Associate in the intellectual practice at Nordic Star Law Offices , told Comnews in an article that since 2019 there has been a project “Government Expenditure” of the Chamber of Accounts, within the framework of which it is possible to obtain information on budget expenses. At the moment, however, it is not available. To some extent, it is already possible to track IT spending using the approved state budget plan, which is available on the State Duma website. However, the IT register requires a more detailed knowledge of IT spending.
