Extract of Accounts Payable Summary Spend Information

Shane Gibson made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

The request was successful.

From: Shane Gibson

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

I would like an extract of the annual amount spent with all suppliers for the 2021/2022 financial year.

I would like this data in an open format, csv or json formats would be suitable.

I would like the following details provided:

- Supplier Name
- Suppliers NZBN number (if available)
- Total Amount Spent

I believe this information would be readily available via an extract from your Accounts Payable system.

I have already received similar data from a number of Government organisations, which implies this information can be treated as open data.

Yours faithfully,

Shane Gibson

Good afternoon Shane,

 

I am contacting you in relation to your OIA request below.

 

We have sourced the data from our AP system and there are over 3,100
suppliers with some 800 being paid less than $1k (GST inclusive, if
applicable) in the period.

 

We have two questions

 

 1. Do you want the expense to be GST inclusive or exclusive? 

 

 2. Do you wish us to exclude small suppliers (eg less than $1k) from the
response?

 

Regards

Dear Fiona Macmaster,

Hi Fiona

Thank you for asking for clarification.

1. Do you want the expense to be GST inclusive or exclusive?

Could I have the amounts GST exclusive please

2. Do you wish us to exclude small suppliers (eg less than $1k) from the
response?

Could you include all suppliers please.

Yours sincerely,

Shane Gibson
