Our spending

The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) voluntarily publishes all items of spending over £500. As well as increasing openness and accountability, this ensures that we meet similar transparency requirements for central government and local authority bodies.

We have published details of payments made on or after 1 April 2010, initially covering the period from 1 April 2010 to 30 September 2010, and will then update it on a continuing monthly basis.

The material published is taken from the accounting system used by LGBCE, provided through our third party service provider (the LGA and Liberata Ltd). The table comprises the following information:

Payment date (Pay date)
Transaction number in our records (TransNo)
Supplier Name (SuppID(T))
How we classify the payments in our accounts (CostC(T)) – this is a standard field that gives the name of the appropriate functional/operational area we have recorded for the transaction
How we classify the payment in our accounts (Account(T)) – this is a standard field which gives the name of the appropriate Chart of Accounts code we have recorded for the transaction
Amount of payment (Amount)

Payments that the LGBCE makes to the Local Government Association (LGA) for outsourced back office services provided by Liberata Ltd are included in this information. However the list excludes payments of the following kinds:

Payments of remuneration to staff, because full disclosure of staff remuneration, including named senior staff, will be made in our annual accounts.
We also redact the names of individuals where payments are made to them and we are required by the Data Protection Act to keep this data private.
