Available above are the spending report and the Government Procurement Card spending report for November 2013.
HM Treasury requires that all central government departments publish details of their spending for transactions over £25,000, and publish monthly data by the last day of each month. This department has lowered its threshold and publishes its transactions over £250.
Points to note on this report:
- over £250 transparency spending data is taken from SAP’s general ledger payment transactions
- as required by HM Treasury, the data relates to accounts payable payments and credit note transactions for grants and procurement expenditure, recorded at the time the transaction was processed on SAP; the data excludes any subsequent journal transactions and accounts receivable receipts
- travel, subsistence and other employee transactions are currently published on a summarised anonomised basis; they are summarised by ‘expense area’, then ‘expense type’, by day
- the terms ‘localism’ and ‘neighbourhoods’ in the spreadsheets refer to groups within DCLG; they cover policy areas such as housing, planning and local government
The data is published in CSV and Excel formats in payment date sequence.
