Public Research · Public Receipts
Following the money. Verifying the evidence. Publishing the receipts.
The Citizen Audit is a transparent, source-based examination of identifiable federal taxpayer spending directed toward non-U.S. recipients and the documented boundary where public federal reporting ends.
Operating Standard
Every claim should be traceable. Every assumption should be disclosed. Every correction should be public.
Known-minimum, not guesswork.
The audit reports only figures tied to a source, fiscal basis, and confidence. Where federal reporting ends, the gap is named rather than filled with invented precision.
Lane subtotals, not a fake grand total.
Different figure types and fiscal bases are kept separate. The site is designed to make that discipline visible rather than burying it in a PDF.
