About the tables
These tables list all the payments over £500 made by the South Downs National Park Authority in any particular month. Most of the payments we make are to suppliers for goods, services and works. The tables don’t include staff salaries.
Payments to Individuals
We make occasional payments, such as reimbursements for expenses, to members of the public and staff. In accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998) and to protect personal information, we have replaced individuals' names with the words 'Payment to Individual'.
Data Analysis
With each payment line, we’ve included extra information about the payments. The Service Label and Service Division Label tell you which part of the Park Authority made the payment. The Expenditure Category and CIPFA Detailed Expenditure Type tell you the type of thing we bought. These all have codes in our system, which we have published as well.
Transaction Numbers
Each payment has its own unique transaction number. A transaction number will be repeated where the payment was for works, supplies or services that fit under more than one expenditure category, or if the payment came from the budget of more than one area of the Park Authority.
