Financial transparency

Detailed monthly reports of council spending, excluding staff salaries and school spending.

These reports are created as part of a central government initiative to increase financial transparency within local government

Monthly spending reports over £500

Why are there entries of less than £500?

This could be because:

  • invoices are sometimes split between different departments within the council, but the total equals more than £500
  • invoices may cover more than one category of spending, but the total equals more than £500
  • amounts shown do not include VAT.

Contract register

In accordance with transparency requirements, the council publishes its contracts register on a quarterly basis.

Data format

Data before July 2015 is presented in the standard format in line with the guidance published by the Department for Communities and Local Government.

Data after July 2015 has been amended slightly following the transfer of accountability to Hampshire County Council.

Removal of personal or sensitive data

If we pay individuals, we remove their personal details to comply with the Data Protection Act. In these cases, details of the payment are included but the supplier column will show ‘Redacted personal data’.

There will also be rare occasions when we need to protect the name of an individual supplier, and in these cases their name will be replaced by the words ‘Redacted commercial data’.
