Central Government departments are required to regularly publish lists of all financial transactions spending over £25,000; some departments publish transactions down to £500 or lower. The business rules and the format is described at http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20130129110402/http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/psr_transparency_index.htm The data is re-usable under the UK's Open Government Licence.

In addition summarised spending information by month x department x type of goods/services is available quarterly from the Treasury (Ministry of Finance) COINS/OSCAR database - see for instance https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmt-oscar-publishing-from-the-database This is also available under the Open Government Licence. The data was last updated/released in September 2014.

2014 reviewer comment: The data in no longer available through COINS or 'Where does my money go'. It can be found on data.gov.uk platform. I added the correct link to the information and a link to the data license.

2015 reviewer comment: OSCAR is not sufficient - it is an aggregation of transactions by budget code, not the detail of the transactions themselves. The monthly spend by government departments is scattered across gov.uk and data.gov.uk and is frequently out of date. For example at the time of writing the Cabinet Office itself is 12 months out of date: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cabinet-office-spend-data and http://data.gov.uk/dataset/financial-transactions-data-co (latest shown is August 2014, current date is September 2015.

Data till 2011 is published on the open data catalogue http://dados.gov.br

More recent data can be downloaded also from the Transparency Portal: http://www.transparencia.gov.br/downloads/ as bulk download per month (the size of each file is so big that this can be regarded as bulk download)

Neither the Transparency Portal nor the Open Data Catalogue specify the license of the data, Example: http://dados.gov.br/dataset/despesas-diretas-do-poder-executivo-federal-publicados-no-portal-da-transparencia/resource/a8eac0a2-7c69-42fe-95fb-4d1819beece1

Data on a certain type of spending (funds voluntarily transferred from federal to other levels of government or from federal government to non-profit organizations) is available on an open data RESTful API, updated daily: http://dados.gov.br/dataset/siconv . It is openly licensed. However, a bulk download is available only for an outdated version of the data.

The IGAE website offers a monthly updated Government Spending excel file for 2015 Government Budget (actual), but this dataset doesn't matches the following evaluation criteria:

  • No Individual record of transactions, just aggregated figures.
  • Therefore, no date of the transactions.

That's why we marked a 'No' on the "Publicly available" question. The same organization is offering a more detailed spending excel file for the 2014 spending.

http://www.transparenciapresupuestaria.gob.mx is a very nice website detailing government spending. However it does not include transactional data but only indicates that the data exists and is digital.

Comments to the reviewer and OD Index: Neither the International Monetary Funds’ (IMF) Fiscal Transparency Code of 2014 nor the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Council on Budgetary Governance Recommendations of 2015 make reference to transactional information (including individual transaction records) as a relevant aggregate but, in terms of openness, stress particularly on coverage, comparability, fullness and relevance, establishing clear and homogenous expenditures classifications.

Therefore, it is important to mention that the Open Budget Survey, conducted by the International Budget Partnership does not contemplate transactional information as part of the neither the survey. Nevertheless, it does include the transparency of disaggregated information by line item according to the established recognized classifications.

In accordance to the above-mentioned and globally recognized best practices on fiscal transparency, the Mexican fiscal transparency portal: www.transparenciapresupuestaria.gob.mx does provide for substantial and open spending information, as acknowledged by the International Budget Partnership in their Open Budget Index score for 2015 in open formats.

Finally, it is noteworthy that 2014 and 2015 index, according to the website, has the same parameters of evaluating this variable, nonetheless the evaluation with same (and even more) information published from year to year has brought the assessment down. Therefore, for it to be a comparable and functional index, it should disclose the methodology changes that generate this downgrade.

The execution of the budget is presented in a financial reporting system: http://www.hacienda.gov.py/analytics/saw.dll?Go

This indicates that the data exists and is digital but it is aggregated.

Comments about procurement platform which is not considered enough:

  • Quality of the Data (Content): 10, all information is available in great detail.
  • Quality of Data (Structure): 6, the data format is PDF or Excel, which are not the most user-friendly formats.

All government spending must go through the e-procurement platform (source of spending data) except salaries which are exempt from it. The producrement phases are: planning, tender, award, contract, admemends, implementation. At the time of the review, all this information, except "implementation" (which contains the payment information) is available at the open data platfrom from the "Dirección Nacional de Contrataciones Públicas" which can be browsed and downloaded in bulk and via an HTTP API at https://www.contrataciones.gov.py/datos.

However, the individual payment information can still be queried at the provided link, and the DNPC is in the process of integrating this phase in their open data portal.

The information available on the web is constantly updated.

There are 4 types of spending data published by the Ministry of Finance, albeit in aggregated form, not as transactional data:

  1. Budget spending by ministry (การเบิกจ่ายเงิน จำแนกตามกระทรวง)
  2. Budget spending by economic type and ministry (การเบิกจ่ายเงิน จำแนกตามลักษณะเศรษฐกิจและกระทรวง)
  3. Budget spending by spending type (การเบิกจ่ายเงิน จำแนกตามหมวดรายจ่าย)
  4. Budget spending by sub-spending type (การเบิกจ่ายเงิน จำแนกตามหมวดรายจ่ายย่อย)

All four types are available at: http://dwfoc.mof.go.th/menu3.htm

This is aggregated data and not transactional data but it indicates that the data exists in digital form

The spending data are managed by a system named integrated system of the spending at the general direction of budget. The data are stored in a database and not published by default. To access the data, user must write to the ministry of finance, specifying which type of data he want, and also specify the format. If the requested data is not sensible, the direction that is responsible of the data extracts the needed dataset for the requester. Even if there is no license applied, the direction said that there is no restriction to the use of the dataset.

Hence the data exists and is in digital form but not publicly available as one has to go through a government official.

The Ministry of Finance makes monthly revenue and spending reports available als XLS files, but these do not list individual items or transactions but list only aggregate expenditures for personell or purchased goods and services (http://mof.ge/en/4646). It's not clear if more detailed information is centrally collected and aggregated on a monthly basis.

On a side note: All government agencies use a centralized e-procurement system to purchase goods and services. Data on non-classified government contracts and bills/receipts is available at https://tenders.procurement.gov.ge. The data includes transactions from state bank accounts to suppliers for the implementation of contracts, but no bulk data is available.

The government spending is managed by the general direction of the budget. All the spending is stored in a database with restricted access. The stored data is about all kind of spending including salary payment. So there is some sensible data that cannot be published. Anyone can do a request for government spending, specifying clearly the type of spending that he need. The general direction of the budget analyses the request and decides if it will give the data or not.

Government spendings reports are still published at end of the following year pending auditing by the Audit bench of the supreme court and the vote by the legislature.

2014 budget spending report is not yet available when 2013 spendings report was released in December 2014 (http://www.presidenceducameroun.com/news/?lang=fr&mode=newsdetails&id=3635). This is why we have so many "No" in this survey. To access the spending data, the requester must write to the minister

The People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) says the David Granger administration appears to have created a parallel treasury as it expressed concern over the exorbitant spending that has been taking place without the apparent lawful and financial processes being followed. The Party, on Saturday, called on Finance Minister Winston Jordan to release a full account of all the monetary and non-monetary contributions received by the Government during the past two weeks. It stated that the recent spending by the Government since it took office lacks accountability and transparency as the PPP/C demanded clarification on several pressing issues.

The rest of the article can be found at: http://www.guyanatimesgy.com/2015/05/31/grangers-govt-has-created-parallel-treasury-pppc/

The data still seems to be collected given a mid year report published beginning of October which shows actual spending of 2014: http://www.finance.gov.gy/images/Docs/Mid%20Year%20Reports/Mid%20Year%202015.pdf

Since this year's criterion requires Individual record of transactions, date of the transactions, government office which had the transaction and name of vendor, we do not think the data provided by the government meets such criterion.

See last year's comment below.

Some data annual expenditure data can also be accessed here: http://www.finances.gov.tn/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=127&Itemid=303&lang=fr

As yearly (high level) data is available, we can safely assume that the government has monthly data as well but this is not available online.

Via the Open Data Tunisia portal, the most recent budget/spending data is from 2012 (PDF) http://www.data.gov.tn/fr/index.php?option=com_mtree&task=viewlink&link_id=40&Itemid=187

This does however indicate that the data exists and the Open Budget Library has year end reports for 2014 which indicate digital form.

In the same way with the government budget dataset, the government spending dataset is also available on the Open Fiscal Data site managed by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance of the Republic of Korea. However, the publicly available government spending dataset is only at high level, not at transaction-level.

Whenever a transaction occurs in the government, the Open Fiscal Data site is used to record it so we can say that the dataset with transaction-level data exists in the database of the system.

According to IBP's Open Budget Survey the year end report is not published which indicates that the data does not exists (but the audit report is published). However the Open Budget Library has the 2012 audit report (2 fiscal periods ago).

There is no data available on day-to-day spending, i.e. transactional spending.

According to IBP's Open Budget Survey the data exists (there is a year end report) but the Open Budget Library holds the 2012 version of the year end report. That's more than 2 fiscal periods ago so we cannot say that the data exists.

Although the Portugal government claims that they have reformed management of public accounts: http://www.portugal.gov.pt/pt/os-temas/20150504-reformas-estruturais/fin-pub/pin-pub-1.aspx (there is however no evidence of this being done now).

In minister of finance website they mention that every minister and department should send summary of their spending to minister of finance, it is unclear how, and if they should send it ever month or year.

According to IBP's Open Budget Survey there are year end reports and audit reports. In the Open Budget Library the last year end report is from 2012 which indicates that the data does not exist (it's from 2 fiscal periods ago).

There is a monthly aggregated report of government expenditure. There is no report that publish data per transaction. All data is copyrighted under the 2010 Ministry of Finance.

IBP's Open Budget Survey shows that almost nothing except year end report is published and the year end report in the Open Budget Library is from 2012. So the data does not seem exist since then (2 fiscal periods ago).

There is an up to date contract database at the Office of the Comptroller's website and at data.pr.gov, but no detailed records of spending at a detailed transactional level. According to a note around the auditing of the government's fiscal statements the government has failed to produce the data for the last fiscal year. Therefore it seems that the data does not exist.

The Dominica government expenditure used to be collected and published in aggregated form via the auditor's report for each financial year.

However that data has not been updated since 2010 (see Audit of the Public Accounts on the government website) and it therefore cannot be confirmed if the data exists or not. Therefore this will get marked as non-existing.

In the past the government of Barbados seems to have collected the required information but the financial statements on the government website have not been updated since 2013.

It is therefore not possible to say if the data exists or not, but given that it's two fiscal periods behind this gets marked as non-existing.

The Ministry of Finance, Communication, Utilities and Energy of Aruba provides yearly insight into the financial affairs of the country by making the actual and budgeted financial statements of each Ministry and department of Government available online for download in PDF format via the Government of Aruba's website.

The latest publication provided was for the year 2011 and is accessible as Jaarrekening Land Aruba 2011.pdf (Annual Country Statements Aruba 2011).

However, this is is aggregated data, not transactional data, and obviously old. Given that the government does not seem to publish aggregated data for recent years, the transactional spending data must be marked as non-existing.

IMF has published a report with aggregated government expenditure: https://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/scr/2015/cr1527.pdf

However as the report states:

"[A] significant share of extra-budgetary expenditures (other than donor funded projects) remains unreported"

Which indicates that detailed transactional expenditure data does not exists except for maybe a subset of the data (although the IMF still finds this comprehensive). Without anything but an IMF report we cannot claim that this data exists.
