Reviewer comments

This looks correct.

Comparing this to the results of IBP's Open Budget Survey: http://survey.internationalbudget.org and the publication of the enacted budgets in aggregated form on http://openbudgetlibrary.org - direct copy here: https://drive.google.com/a/okfn.org/file/d/0ByA9wmvBrAnZWlkxMGZTdnJ6T0U/view - this information (transactional expenditure) is collected but not published.
