Focus on spend seeks to deliver meaningful visibility of Clackmannanshire Council's spending on goods & services. bought from suppliers in the last financial year.
The information is provided by Spikes Cavell, a private company that classifies our payment data into clear and consistent categories that we think makes our spending information more accessible. To that end significant effort is required to improve the raw financial data such that it is accessible, relevant and of value to the general public.
As with any classification, we are aware that some expenditure can end up in categories that people didn't expect. This is likely to happen when where we have bought more than one kind of item from the same supplier. Despite this, we think that this method of presentation provides the public with good quality, easily accessible information on Council spending.
