2008-09:

I am advised that the Territory’s financial system does not distinguish between credit card transactions and other payment transactions. Monthly credit card statements must be manually analysed in order to answer this question. Given this time consuming requirement, it is not considered a reasonable use of the agency’s limited resources to answer this question for more than two financial years. As a result, total credit card expenditure for 2007-08 and 2006-07 is not provided.

(5) Each credit card has a limit of $10,000.

(6) No expenses for catering, other than that associated with meals and refreshments for in-house training programs, have been charged to credit cards.

(5) What is the limit on each credit card.
