What the reports show

Each report shows:

  • supplier name
  • amount
  • description of what was bought
  • purchasing department
  • payment date
  • transaction number

The amounts shown exclude VAT.

Where payments under £500 appear in a report, this is either because once the VAT element is included the total is more than £500, or because an invoice for more than £500 has been broken down to reflect different items of purchase which could also include credits such as discounts. Payments made using purchase cards are presented as a separate report.

The reports do not include:

  • banking investments
  • salaries
  • refunds
  • member allowances
  • employee remuneration payments
  • benefits and homelessness payments

Individual's names are not shown and are replaced with the word "redacted".
