Governance & Compliance 4: Procurement Cards

Posted on 16 October 2014 by financeschools-mailbox@devon.gov.uk

In April 2014 the Local Government Transparency Code came into effect.  This code was issued to meet the Government’s desire to place more power into citizens’ hands to increase democratic accountability and help shape public services. A requirement of the code is to publish details of spending  which includes Government Procurement Card transactions (Part 2, Para 25)

There are a number of schools that are currently using such cards. Therefore please be aware that details of transactions since 23 March 2014 will be published on the internet no later than 31 December 2014 to adhere to the code.
