Finances

In June 2010 the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government wrote to local authorities committing us to publishing items of spending over £500 by January 2011. The data we've published under 'Local Spending data' excludes:

all payments to individuals paid through payroll
payments to HM Revenue and Customs relating to Vat and payroll
all pension-related payments

We have included invoice and grant payments to individuals but have replaced personal data with the words 'Redacted personal data'.

Local Spending data

Background

The data published relates to payments made by the Lake District National Park Authority
The Authority uses an accounting system called SunSystems
The date used to identify payments is the date that the transaction was authorised for payment
The purchase categorisation used is from BVACOP - Best Value Accounting Code of Practice
