Your Official Information Act request, reference: GOV-046406 Thank you for your email of 27 February 2026, asking for the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Thank you for your consolidated response under GOV-044915 (18 December 2025), which
includes GOV-045041. I note your clarification that: ICRA and FairWay expenditure was separated using unique vendor IDs. No additional GL codes
exist beyond those previously disclosed. To refine my request and ensure it is manageable, I now seek clarification limited strictly to
financial year 2024/25 and limited to system architecture only.
Your following three questions are responded to in turn below.
Question 1: Please confirm the GL account number(s) under which payments to Fairway and ICRA
were recorded in 2024/25
This has already been answered on 26 November 2025 (GOV-044064). We stated that “ACC only uses
one code to track ICRA and Fairway spend. We refer to page 2 of Appendix 1.” Appendix 1 stated “The
code for ICRA and Fairway in ACC’s systems is 06030.” This applied to 2024/25.
Question 2: The name of the reporting field within ACC’s financial system that enables supplier-
based reporting (e.g., “Vendor ID”, “Supplier”, or equivalent)
The fieldnames used to identify suppliers in our financial system (titled the ‘ERP general ledger’) are:
• ‘Supplier.’ This is where the supplier name is entered.
• ‘Supplier Number.’ A unique number assigned by the system for each supplier.
ICRA and FairWay invoices are paid from the ERP general ledger.
Our provider payments system, MFP, uses the fieldnames ‘Vendor Name’, and ‘ACC Vendor ID’ to
identify suppliers.
Practically speaking, the terms ‘Vendor’ and ‘Supplier’ are used interchangeably. Similarly, the terms
‘Vendor ID’, ‘Vendor Number’ and ‘Supplier Number’ are often used interchangeably.

Question 3: Whether the tables provided under GOV-044440 were extracted from:
•
ACC’s primary ERP ledger system, or
•
A separate reporting layer or data warehouse.
In our response under GOV-044440 (10 December 2025), the information in the following tables was
extracted directly from the ERP general ledger system:
• Table one: Expenditure and GL codes for appeals under Part 5 of the Accident Compensation
Act 2001 (the AC Act)
• Table two: Expenditure for Fairway and ICRA for reviews under Part 5 of the AC Act
The final table “Table - Expenditure for external legal counsel for reviews under Part 5 of the Accident
Compensation Act 2001” is sourced from our data warehouse. These payments are made from our
provider payments system called MFP. This system processes a large number of claim level
transactions every day and is only included at a summarised level in the ERP general ledger
system. This means detailed information of these payments and suppliers/vendors is sourced either
directly from MFP or from the data warehouse.
If you have any questions about this response, please get in touch You can email me at [email address]. If you are not happy with this response, you can
