The Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) will provide Business Units with certain Statewide Financial System (SFS) payment data upon the Business Unit’s request.

Process and Document Preparation:

Business Units may need historical payment data for purposes of internal auditing, satisfying the procurement audit process (refer to Section 4.D - Certification of Internal Controls over the Payment Process) of this Chapter, Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests, etc. In most cases, Business Units should obtain this data directly from the SFS through the use of reports and queries. There may be other instances where data is needed from OSC. To request data, please send an email to [email protected]. In your email, include the specifications of the request such as i) time frame, ii) New York State Business Unit(s), iii) data fields, and iv) format (Excel, text).

Please note that Tax Identification Numbers will not be released with the payment data.
